Katherine Gorge


This is our last long day of 1150 km. We set out for Katherine and wanted to stay at the Gorge. This is one of the major national parks in South Australia. By mid day we turned onto the Stuart Hwy at Three Way. The road is really straight and flat. Termite mounds are every where and seem to come in all different sizes, colors' and shapes. We met up with the Michigan advance team who has been in Australia for over a month. They are planning to spend a few days in the area. We arrived at Katherine at dusk and headed to the Park. This is a developed park that gets many visitors. Showers felt good. After a hot day, sad to find the swimming pool had just closed. Up early again to see what we can before we head out to Darwin. This is a huge park but only had time to hike up the trail to the top of a view point. It was another beautiful morning and of course there are more kangaroos on the trail. We split to let the van get to Darwin early. We need to secure our rental chase car and they close early on Sunday.
