A couple of days ago we celebrated our 48th anniversary with a dinner at the Savannah Restaurant at Knotts Crossing Resort in Katherine. Quite swish, getting out of the shorts for once and into a long sleeved shirt and jeans. Very formal eh?
And yesterday we arrived in Batchelor ( about 100 km from Darwin) to catch up with our friends Bill and Maxine Blower. We only had one night in each of Lake Argyle, Victoria River and Katherine, knowing that we would be returning to Katherine after Darwin and Kakadu before heading toward Mt Isa and the inland road south thru Longreach and Winton. Many folk tell us it is quite depressing for they haven’t had rain in a few years, but the convoys of grey nomads are still passing and helping local economy. We hope to be in Toowoomba in time for the flower festival September 19 and catching up with Dorothy O’Connor.
But today (Friday) we spent the day in the Litchfield National Park, which is more my scene with sealed roads and natty little concrete pathways to the falls from the carparks.
It being so nice here we plan another night in Batchelor before heading for Darwin on Sunday.
