Darwin




We shared a kilo of crocodile meat on the barbie with the Shepherds on our last night in Kununurra, beautiful favour but a bit tough.
We finally vacated Western Australia after about 3 months, passing into Northern Territory and losing 1 1/2 hours in the process.
We are now covering old ground that we did 5 years ago, only going the opposite direction. We jumped in the hot springs upon arriving in Katherine (very refreshing). We voted at the polling booth at Woollies and had the ute serviced for the second time (20,000 klms). Not good to be in Katherine on Thursday, pay day for local unemployed
We had a night with earlier acquaintances at Edith Falls before heading to Darwin.
We had a nice cool off in Berri Springs before camping the night at Mandorah, across the harbour from Darwin.
We checked out the WW2 Liberator plane crash at Wagait Beach before heading to Darwin to hit the shops, Mindle market, Casaurina shopping centre and the mall, not forgetting a quilt shop too., ute chockers.
Temperature in Darwin too hot for us, 32 plus.
Spent a night on Dundee Beach before heading south to Katherine for another dip in the springs. Camped tonight at Mataranka, more springs.
