Katherine Gorge to Cooinda

This morning we had breakfast and packed up and headed down to catch the Katherine Gorge boat to do the 3 gorges cruise. The boat took us up to the end of the first gorge. We then had to hop off and do the first of 3 transfers to a new boat in the second gorge. The scenery was stunning. We saw a 2m freshwater crocodile which we were told was quite rare to see. We saw rock paintings and in the top pool had a swim. This was a highlight of our trip so far.
After disembarking we headed into Katherine for some essential supplies. Jenny's second bottle of wine and ice for Hickys beer. We then dropped into the Museum and soaked up some of the history of the area from stolen generation to floods. It was well worth seeing.
Jenny drove while noddy had a couple of roadies and a nap. We checked in, had a swim and scrubbed up for more barramundi at the restaurant. Midges and mossies are ferocious here. Lucky I left the mossie coil going with the air conditioning on. Looking forward to the yellow river cruise in the morning.Read more
