Bit slow to get started today, might have had something to do with the big night the night before. Got on the road by about 10.30, took our last photos in Mataranka and drove 106klms north to Katherine. It is the 3rd largest city in the Northern Territory and boasts a population of 24,000 of which 60% is aboriginal. Nothing of interest is open today so it just a bit of reading and swimming at the caravan park “Shady Lane”. We have booked a cruise for tomorrow morning and then we are going to learn aboriginal art in the afternoon and we may even get a bit of fishing in. It would appear that much of the North is closed due to flooding so we are going to stay here for 3 days and then John and Wil are going to turn around and head to Alice Springs and we will head straight to Darwin. Finally got phone service for the first time in 3 days........
