This just an addition to the earlier blog. We didn't do much over the past two day's as we were pretty knackered due to the Bali trip. We mainly hung around Darwin, did the Humpt Doo pub for lunch as recommended by our friends Graham and Leonie. We decided to stick with the mixed seafood as the chicken parma was pretty much a whole chicken crumbed and fried. Gabriell said that if you have a pub and it's old and people go there then you will make money. They make money but it is still a pub, the beer was cold the food was good and it took up a bit of the day. We headed back and started to pack up before heading off to meet up with a couple we met on the road a few weeks earlier. Allan and Ann are from yes Melbourne up in Cockatoo. We headed for the Hidden valley pub and had a nice dinner and fun telling the stories of things we have seen and things we have done. Good night had by all.

It was back on the road again this morning and we headed off to Katherine and a two day stay. We are booked on the morning cruise at Katherine gorge. We may even head out to Edith falls if we get back early enough. Unfortunately it's about time at the moment so we have to cram in a much as possible. We heard the weather is pretty ordinary in Perth so I'm not looking forward to getting their in a hurry. If it looks like crap we may stay north west a little longer and do a flyby through Perth and say high to the family.

As usual we arrived at the caravan park and it was only 100mtrs from the river. Yep I had to go and throw a line in and not catch anything again. I was a bit worried as I felt like I was being watched and sure enough directly across the river there was a croc either watching me or just cruising the banks. I decided that it was time to stop fishing as a couple of times I lost sight of the beast. He had to be 20ft from where I was standing or maybe 5 ft in real terms. he won as I wasn't going to stay around, he wants the fish he can have them, they're in his back yard and I'm only a guest.

Got back to camp and put the roast lamb on the Mark Weber. Nothing better than a good home cooked meal. Anyway have a good night and check in again tomorrow. bye.
