We stopped in Katherine for a couple of nights as we wanted to check out the gorge and plan the activities we want to do in this part of the northern territory when we come back down here early next year. You have to come back to Katherine as it is the only way out of Darwin heading east, west or south! We think we’ll do the breakfast tour through the gorge – it seems to be the best one as there will be a lot of wildlife out before it gets too hot.
One thing we didn’t see much of on the way up to Darwin is wildlife. Not sure why. When we went to Alice Springs earlier in the year we saw heaps of kangaroos, emus and eagles. This time we only saw about 1/2 dozen eagles until we got up near Katherine when we started to see Falcons. Maybe it’s been too hot for them.
Anyway, I’ll be doing a better write up of Katherine later on.
