We drove to Mataranka pools today, they were so warm heaps better than at Katherine. We had a great swim there, Charlotte could paddle because there was a seat around the edge. We walked along a path surrounded by rainforest and saw a wallaby, it was so beautiful. We also looked at an old homestead Mum said the lady who lived there wrote a book about her life there called We of the Never Never. Then we drove back to Daley Waters and had lunch at the pub. Yes...

We stopped just before Daley Waters to camp for the night, we found a site off the road and had a fire. During the night we heard some strange noises, we think it was dingoes. Mum thought she heard footsteps on the mats outside our door, maybe it was a dingo. We got up early and kept moving towards Darwin.
