Katherine

 I am now in Katherine, there are many memories here and I feel so alone every time I enter the caravan by myself, I could not have done this trip alone, so I am extremely grateful to Mark & Sue to allow me to tag along.They are probably sick of me being the third wheel by now.

Tomorrow we head for Adelaide river & Robin falls and the following day we meet up with Susan's brother in law, so our little group will be expanding by one more caravan, we hope to rendezvous with 2 more groups before we get home again. Plenty of pics again, I am having some technical problems with my drone that I hope to sort out over the next few days.



Enjoying a cold one on a hot day at Daly Waters, waiting for the barbeque to fire up for dinner & enjoying the live entertainment.



Cycling around Katherine.



Enjoying the warm artesian springs behind the caravan. I am the bald one.




Me near a bush camp in the middle of nowhere.

 A fairly uneventful few days getting home and then the sad feeling of not being on the road any more. A few pics of some places on the last...
