We headed out on a quick run around Darwin before we left town. We were told to have a look at the Darwin oil tanks, so off we went and it was very interesting. The tanks were built during the war and just as they finished them the war came to an end and they didn't get used. There were many tanks built underground so as not to bring them to the attention off the Japanese airforce. This tank to the left was 171mtrs long and would have held a lot of oil. We then had a walk around the area and had a look at the Governors house and Parliament house. As we were leaving the next morning we did a bit of walking around town a heard a bit of yelling and abuse which we thought was coming from the street, unfortunately it was coming from the back of a police car. They had one of the local boys in custody and he wasn't happy.

Yesterday we arrived in Katherine and as usual I headed off the river to try and catch the elusive Barramuni. No luck so headed back to cook dinner. We booked the gorge boat trip for the morning. We had an early start and headed down to the gorge and boarded the boat to see the gorges. As it was morning trip the sun was right in our eyes as we headed up river. The photos don't it any justice or maybe it was just me.

After the trip to Katherine gorge we drove back up to Edith falls. We were a bit disappointed that the temperature was a bit cool and the water even cooler. We sat and had lunch and then headed back to Katherine. I went back to the river and fished for about 2hrs. This must be the only place you can't catch anything. The locals and others staying in the park say I'm using the right lures and doing everything right but they are very good at hiding from me. I will continue as we head off to Timber creek and Victoria river region, there has to be fish somewhere. Gabriella had to come looking for me as she thought I may have been taken by a croc. I think she came looking because I had the car keys in my pocket. Can't get out if you have no keys. 

Oh, the croc cage above is one they leave just in case a stray salt water croc is still hanging around. They say the odd fresh water croc gets into them but they let them go. Anyway catch you later.
