Up nice and early at 7am to pack camp and move. Finally on the road by 9.30am. Such a shame really as the weather while we were in Darwin was wonderful, so barmy but that last night was like Darwin was saying to us that it was time to go...
Stopped at Pine Creek for lunch, Himself found a mini museum of old mining equipment and railway stuff. Pine Creek has had a chequered past depending on what mineral was found and mined. It began when gold was discovered by the builders of the overland telegraph line from Adelaide to Darwin. Over the years several other minerals have been mined in the area depending on the market.
Onwards to Katherine arriving early afternoon. We went straight into the Information Centre and booked for a three gorges tour tomorrow beginning at 1pm. It goes for four hours so best I remember the sunscreen and a hat!!!
We took someones advice and went the extra mile to check into the Manbulloo station homestead caravan park which is 9 kilometers outside Katherine on the road to WA. Pretty little place beside the Katherine river. It is a working cattle station so we got up close and personal with some of the residents.
Not sure why but cannot access my own blog to reply to comments! So yes it is a Brahman and it is a BULL, a very big bull who enjoyed being scratched and rubbed by Himself at the fence next to the water trough.....
she's gorgeous. Brahman?
