The drive again was interesting - not much around, but different scenery again - very red dirt, random roadworks and very nice mountain ranges. The roadhouses were the most interesting yet and kept us very entertained. It was also very very hot - at 4pm it was still 33 degrees! We also gained an hour and a half so the 5 hour journey became a 6.5 hour journey!
We finally pulled into Katherine (well a caravan park on the outskirts of Katherine) yesterday afternoon and booked a croc dinner. It was great fun - we went out on a boat on the Katherine Lake with our tourches and hunted crocodiles and then stopped for a bbq dinner (steaks not croc) under the stars with wine and billy tea to finish up! Was a great night :)
Off to Katherine Gorge today and will be staying in the National Parks for the next few nights (hopefully if we can get a spot - everywhere is soooo crowded) so possibly no reception and no updates (i know, i know, calm down everyone - no more tears please - we will be back soon)
On another note - RIP to the Civic Hotel, the best Chicken burgers and Chicken BLTs in Australia (and i know - ive tried them all). Cant believe it wont be there when I get home and will have to find another location for lunch :(
