Katherine

320 Kilometres SE of Darwin Katherine is known as the place "Where the outback meets the Tropics" (thanks Wikipedia). Home to Katherine Gorge and 60klms north to Edith Falls. We also visited a number of indigenous art galleries and had a great night at Marksies's Stockman's Bush Camp dinner.

Part 1. - Katherine Gorge

Don't say we are not educational

Cute hey - These little guys are everywhere

Only a "Freshie" or Johnson River Croc. They do get "Salties" here but not today.

Wouldn't hurt a fly....

Jedda's Rock from the old Australian movie "Jedda"

The day after our tour on the boat through 2 of the gorges we came back to do the rim walk. Not a lot, 5klms up hill and down again.

Just as stunning from up here.

The first bit was stairs. It did not last

Anyone want to buy a slightly used pair of knees.

Palms in the outback - go figure

How long till that falls do you reckon. Should I wait???

Pretending to admire the view. Really just catching my breath.

Part 2 - Edith Falls

Possibly the best swimming we have had this trip.

1.6klms walk in and out again but worth every step.

Yes there is a theme

This is not photoshopped - Leonie is in the water - again:)

Note the hat - trying to catch that elusive photo and sun safe.

Who says the Australian bush is drab???

Some house keeping tomorrow and then off bush again to the Daly River and then on to the Litchfield National Park. Might be off the grid for a while.
