We moved on from Elsey National Park (the sprinklers and the wild donkeys, plus a couple of swims in the hot springs), to Katherine. We had 3 nights in Shady Lane Caravan Park and the 3 gorges boat trip on Katherine Gorge. We had the truck windscreen replaced in Katherine - it had a stone chip in it before we left and I thought about replacing it, but pleased I didn't because the one I got in Queensland was bigger and started to crack in Katherine. Anyway, the new one is sure better to look through!
After Katherine we went on to the Howard Springs Caravan Park in Darwin. It has been great here, but so hot! We went to Mindil Markets on Thursday evening and a dinner cruise on Darwin Harbour last night (Friday}. We are going down to Berry Springs tomorrow for a night and for M to catch a barramundi (at a fish farm!) on Monday, and then to Kakadu for a day or two, before back to Katherine and west to Western Australia. We want to be in Broome by the end of July.
Here are some photos-

| Colours on the gorge wall. The floods in the wet can be really high here. |
