Broome to Katherine in Pictures

Sorry for our absence on the blog. We have had no service the last few days since leaving Broome. We have been staying in free camps and roughing it. 5 days without a shower is now a record proudly held!

Boabs












We passed through Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek, Kunnanurra and Katherine.

Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek were quiet little towns where the alcohol restrictions seems to have improved things considerably.

People have all kinds of set ups!
Kunnanurra was good and we stocked up on supplies. I also visited Nina's, who specialise in Pink Argile Diamonds. They were lovely and even though I could clearly not afford a diamond the sales lady let me handle a 1 carat pink diamond worth $80 000! It was spectacular.

We had a quick stop at Mirima National Park in Kununurra before leaving Western Australia for the Northern Territory.
 

The speed limit changed to 130 and we knew we were in the NT!

A stop at Gregory National Park for some beautiful scenery and fantastic Rock Paintings.












A stop in Katherine was not so pleasant as there was music coming from the local tavern at 10am and drunk people about the streets. I almost felt unsafe and since my last job was a HSLO in Wilcannia that is a big call.

Katherine did have wonderful hot springs though and they were a refreshing change to the main street and felt almost like we had had a shower.

Katherine Gorge is our stop tonight and tomorrow and while it is quite comercialised it is spectacular.

Sending lots of love to the Railway Town Public School staff and students tonight as they are going through a tough time at the moment. Love you Donna.
