Katherine and the Gorges

Picked the Manbulloo Homestead Caravan Park as the place to stay, being 10 ks out of town it should be quiet. The park is shaded in sections open and sunny in others. The amenities are quite dated and in the process of being painted and retiled while we were here, but they have put in a uni-sex block for park patrons to use.

The Katherine river runs along the side of the park with a walkway to access it, then is just a dirt track down to the water through grass and trees.

Tim and Graham have been trying their luck with the pots and lines again being aware that a couple of big salt water crocs have been seen here in the last couple of weeks.

Tim & I had booked a 2 hour tour for Sunday at 11am to do 2 gorges although we have to drive out to the gorge to get on the boat about 30 minutes away.

We really enjoyed it and are glad we spent the money.

Here are photos 

As our family and quite a lot of others are now aware while staying at the caravan park we had branches fall onto the Toyota doing some damage. Broken Window screen, damaged bonnet and other bits. The Toyota is still driveable thank goodness so as we were lucky enough to get the window screen fixed the next morning we continued on our way. The Insurance companies can do the fighting over it now.

We are going to Darwin!
