Thursday 12th July 2018 - Arrived in Katherine and set up camp. Once done we wandered into town. Katherine is similar to Tennant Creek in that every building is secured by metal grates and the shops close early; it is bigger and has a friendly atmosphere. Friday 13th July 2018 - Spent the day around camp doing domestic chores so that we can spend the next few days exploring Katherine. Went out to dinner at the Mahogany Bar as it was $20 steak night!!

Wednesday 4th July 2018 - Left Alice Springs after an early wake-up call at 03:30am to watch England Vs Colombia in the World Cup (England 4 on penalties - Colombia 3887.).

Tuesday 19th June 2018 - (Total Mileage travelled: 3,000kms) We got up with the sun that gave a magical display as far as you could see and headed for our next destination. Along the way we stopped at Erldunda to take on some fuel before we turned onto the Lasseter Highway.

Monday 18th June 2018 - After spending a couple of days in the unconventional town of Coober Pedy we head off towards Uluru-Kata Tjuta. We didn't drive all the way through as we broke the trip up and stayed the night at the Kulgera Road House; the most central pub in Australia. It was a wonderful old place with plenty of history together and a great atmosphere. One of its features being a lot of items hanging from the ceiling from baseball caps to bras & a...
