We spent 3 nights in Katherine the humidity was a lot less there but it was still very hot. As it was Saturday we went into Katherine and went to the market coming home with the biggest Watermelon available and the boys proceeded to have a watermelon feast in the afternoon. Then we visited the Cutta Cutta Caves and had an evening cruise with the Crocs which was different. We cruised down the Katherine River with our spotlights checking out the crocs eyes and the...

It was a wonderful day seeing the magnetic termite mounds and swimming in bluey pools and then Florence Falls it was truly amazing and very refreshing due to the heat.

Wycliffe Well to Mataranka We this will be our longest day on the road and in hindsight we would stop at Daly Waters but for some reason we just kept pushing on. Up early and on the road fairly quickly we stopped in Tennent Creek for fuel and Coffee then to attack creek for morning smoko. We were going to stop at Elliott for the night but we had been advised not to stop there and I really understand why it was a very rundown place and didn't look at all inviti...
