Katherine

The trip from Daly Waters to Katherine was often through smoke haze. It seemed half of the country was on fire.
The eagles, crows and kites loved it as it flushed out little critters for them to pounce on for lunch.

As we drove into Katherine we were taken aback by the changes. There are certainly more shops in the main street but there were very few white people moving about. It would seem the indigenous population has grown considerably since our last visit.
We are camped on Manbulloo Station about 9 kms out of town. It is on the river and we are under massive old tropical trees. It was 31 degrees yesterday and today and quite humid so we are glad to come and go from deep shade.
