0930 (6656 km) Barramundi feeding show at the place we were staying at (Territory Manor). The fish were bigger than I expected! Huge! And they ate with a "boof" sound. MJ went into the water to feed the fish. Brave boy. Fortunately he still has all his fingers.
1030 (6658 km) Filled up. Go to Katherine.
1145 (6769 km) Katherine. Site 374. Checked in and ate lunch. The others had arrived the day before in Cabin 392.
1215 (6769 km) Go to Katherine Gorge.
1245 (6797 km) Katherine Gorge. Bats! Bats hanging on the trees. Must have been thousands. Went on the two gorge cruise. There was an incredibly large rock art halfway up a cliff. Apparently, the art was painted when they were more rocks around the base. The rocks have moved and so the art is left halfway up the cliff. Katherine Canyon had 2 sheer cliffs on either side and looks magnificent. Passed some 'raining rocks'. They were part of the cliff where water seeps in form the marshy area on top and then starts dripping where it overhangs the river. Lots of people were kayaking around and swimming. Saw a baby fresh water crocodile on a log - he was quite well camouflaged. Very cute. Learnt the words "logadile" and "rockadile".

1600 (6825 km) Set up camper trailer. MK did his Maths Olympiad. Kids had a swim in the cold pool. Cooked Fajitas on the BBQ and ate by the pool. How civilised.
