Well we have now been in Katherine for a week! 

Our friends Laureen & Tom stayed here with us for  3 days and were good enough to take us sightseeing with them. We went out to Katherine gorge in the Nitmiluk National Park. This is quite something with an interpretive display and a great walk that Elaine managed to complete, albeit at a slow pace. The gorge is very spectacular, but the numbers of bats that were there was almost unbelievable. Trees, lots of them, were completely black with the bats. We also visited a museum and saw lots of info on the Katherine region. 

They took off last Monday for Darwin and we have spent the time since then doing bits & pieces on the van and simply relaxing by the pool. This caravan park, the Boab Caravan Park, is very nice small, well kept and friendly staff. Anyway our parts arrived yesterday and the van is, at this moment, being repaired.
