Katherine to Darwin


After settling into our camp for the next couple of days , the first thing on our agenda is the car wash then a bit of shopping before embarking on our cruise down Katherine gorge. Spectacular scenery with a very informative guide. Couldn't get over the number of bats that congregate near the wharf when we were getting on the boat. Called into Edith Falls, lovely spot with camping facilities.
There wasn't a great amount of water flowing but it was pretty anyway.
Entered Kakadu National Park and headed out to Gunlom Falls which was down a dirt, corrugated road which meant airing down the tyres to get a smother ride. We then made our way to Cooinda Lodge campground for the night. We then ventured out to Nourlangie rock, where we saw some amazing examples of ancient aboriginal art, then climbed to Gunwarddehwadde lookout which overlooks the Kakadu escarpment and Nourlangie rock.
