We had only intended to get to Mataranka tonight but decided after our swim in the hot springs there that we would push on to Katherine. On our way we stopped at Renner Springs (homemade sausage rolls, pies and bread) and the Daly Waters Pub for lunch. This place is a hoot. Tourists from all over the world have visited here and left mementos of their stay. Some have left thongs and hats, others currency from their country. Some bolder ones have left knickers and bras, which the kids declared was “totally wrong”. It is a little funky oasis in the middle of nowhere.
Katherine was to be our oasis but on arrival we had a little difficulty selecting our site and once we were located spent a lot of time dancing around trying to avoid the 3 different types of bitey ants we had located on the ground. Swim and shower later we went in search of dinner and decided that Katherine’s pizza was decidedly not dodgy and we even go to sit and eat it in the lovely cool clean pub next door. The kids were into a colouring competition and the lovely girl working there Roxy, could not have done enough for us or made us more comfortable or welcome. Thus feeling much better, we headed back to the van for a very hot and humid nights sleep.
