Wed 3 Aug 2011 Darwin to Katherine

0930 (7643 km) Breakfast of toast. Left Darwin.
1330 (7953 km) Arrive at Katherine Low Level Caravan Park. Site 26. Lunch of sandwiches.
1430 (7968 km) Went to Top Didj Aboriginal Cultural Experience. It had been recommended by friends. Manuel told us about some aboriginal stories and his background. The we split up - some did dot painting (desert Aborigines) with Adrianna and others did raark painting (Arnhem Land style) by Manuel. Then Manuel told us that we were honorary members of his Dalabon tribe. Also tried our hand at fire lighting with sticks and spear throwing. MK killed the kangaroo. CK got its leg. Fed some rescue wallabies, Oliver and Honey. Had a great time - highly recommend the place.

1815 (7974 km) Filled up. Shopping

1830 (7980 km) Caravan Park. BBQ sausages and steak. The tricky thing about the BBQ was that it said to turn on at gas bottle. However, the gas bottle was nowhere to be found. It was actually on the other side of the shelter under a shelf between two bins!
