Katherine to Timber Creek - NT

Overnighting at Timber Ck before we cross the NT/WA border tomorrow. The town of Timber Creek has a stream (from Victoria River) which runs behind the camping area and is populated with some fresh water crocodiles and a colony of black flying fox. I was lucky enough to spot several "freshies". The largest would have been 5 feet in length. They get fed 3 times a week but today wasn't a feeding day. ..guess they thought they'd come to see if they could get lucky. 😜 Timber Ck is also famous for its boab trees. Grey Nomads, regular visitors to this area, say the touring traffic has increased four fold over the past couple of years. Great for our outback! Some of these images are from the drive out from Katherine...as we drive through a corner of the Gregory National Park.Read more
