Greg and Deb's Travel Blog

We had a bit of a sleep in this morning, it was 8:30am before we got up!! 🙂

After a bite of breakfast we headed down to the Katherine Hot Springs to have a swim before the crowds arrived. Continue reading →

We had expected to have an early start for our day as we had booked a 7am Breakfast Cruise on Nitmiluk Gorge (aka Katherine Gorge).  We didn’t take into consideration a little night time disturbance at the caravan park.

Around 10:45 last night we could hear some rumblings outside in front of our van. Then someone started exclaiming that they were being flooded.  Now, this got Deb’s attention.   😛    Continue reading →

We left after 8am this morning, we had to go by the dump point – Greg has even made up a song about it – He will not miss that part of his day when we get home!!   And by all accounts that one was not pleasant! Continue reading →

The most strenuous thing I did today was to go up to the shop and get the paper.

14 August 2011 Litchfield to Darwin

We left Litchfield at about 8:30am and had only about an hour to Darwin, the earliest we could check-in at the Caravan Park was 12 noon, so we had a bit of time to fill in.

On the way out to the highway we noticed that Batchelor  had a Saturday market, so we took the turn off and found the market.   As luck would have it, there was also a (your favourite spot and mine) dump point right near the market.   Continue reading →
