More Dirt

Driving the Northern Territory brings no surprises.  The countryside reminds me a lot of the Hawkesbury region of N.S.W.
After vouching to stay off dirt roads-what do we do?  Drive thirty six kilometres on dirt, off the Victoria Highway, west of Katherine to visit the falls of the Flora River.  (And back again.)
So creepy walking along the river bank...
In Katherine in time for lunch, which we have at The Coffee Club...ahhh, air conditioning!  It's so hot in town.
Visit N.T. Rare Rocks where we purchase a few samples of rock specific to the region.
Find many interesting specimens.
Here we're able to get telephone coverage so catch up with family and especially, one certain Birthday Boy!
We were very lucky to get a camp site tonight, managed to get tucked in behind a nice shady hedge without being crowded out.

Kathleen Falls, Flora Nature Reserve, N.T.


Longtom and Archer Fish.
Beware of Crocs!


A Night at Katherine.  Lucky to find a camp!
