Been a bit tardy on the blog - its busy being a tourist you know !
Sitting outside at 9pm  at Katherine and its about 26 degrees !  and actually no real issues with mozzies either.
We have had an excellent experience travelling from Katherine to Darwin ( Darwin didnt disappoint again - it is a lovely setting - just a shame it is so bloody far from everywhere), Litchfield National Park ( spectacular !).  we did Kakadu 3 years ago and that was amazing but completely different to Litchfield.  we had at least one swim every day in different and  beautiful natural pools that have waterfalls as a back drop.  Heaps of photos which we will try and upload some soon - just a bit short of data at present.
We are now back in Katherine to do a bit of stocking up etc before we head directly west along the Victorian Highway towards Kunnunara and then Broome - at least a thousand Kms or so !

We have had a wide range of places we have stayed at- of course the caravan parks enable some comforts such as power and running water as well as ability to stock up etc.  so there have been some of those but we have also stayed at a couple of different working stations that have diversified for tourism- very hospitable and pleasant settings, freedom camping where you are totally self sufficient but really doing the whole hard yards ( still with the comforts that the caravan provides !).

So at the risk of rubbing it in too much about warm weather etc we have forgotten what its like to have rain and overnight temps of less than 20.  We also have to check in what date and day it is - week days run into weekends and feel no different- hasnt taken long to shift out of the working realities.  It is incredible how many people are on the road and the number of Victorians outnumber any other Oz states.  Have met a few Kiwis but they have actually lived in Oz for some time- no- one yet doing what we are but theyre bound to be out there somewhere !!

So hopefully will get some photos up in next day or so and will touch base en route to Broome.
