we are travelling steadily north towards Darwin. Since last post we have stayed in a variety of places - all with their own unique flavour. These have included freedom camping en route to Tennent Creek, Banka Banka Station which has been diversified to enable camping in a lovely spot- great hospitality and an enjoyable overnight stay. From Banka Banka to a roadside freedom camp ( you start to not hear the trucks passing by through the night !) then a favourite place from our last visit - Mataranka and Bitter Springs- beautiful clear natural springs at 30 degrees temp. you can visit as often as you like so needless to say it was hard to resist over the two days we were there. Not disappointed this time - it will always be a favourite. So shorts, T-shirts and togs are now the norm on a day to day basis.
we have had two nights in Katherine- a caravan park with green grass !! you do get to appreciate the things we take for granted in NZ. We move towards Darwin tomorrow but will take a couple of days to do this- have booked into Darwin as it has limited caravan parks and its the school holidays for the next 3 weeks. Totally open to where and how fast we go after Darwin other than knowing we will go to Litchfield National Park and start moving south again before we head West towards Broome.
All going well - have trouble remembering which day of the week it is ( sorry to rub that in but it doesnt take long).

Pic 2 Bitter Springs- photos cant do it justice and really hard to get out of !

Pic 4 Katherine - low level nature reserve - Briar and Paul will recognise it well

Jenny and Bill - meant to say - your recommendation to stay at the Finke river freedom camp was spot on - a delightful spot in the West Macs.
