Our first day at Katherine

We left Mataranks springs early this morning to head toward Katherine. I decided to have a try of towing the caravan and it was surprisingly easy! I actually enjoyed towing it and will be sharing alot of the driving with Brent now (although he goes a little faster than me - I do 90 and he does 100 and somtimes 110 - the speed zones out here are mostly 130 - how crazy is that?). I felt really proud of myseld for stepping up and giving towing the van a try, I towed it the entire way to Katherine (an hour and a half drive).

When we arrived at Katherine we decided to go to the caravan park our friends suggested to us yesterday, the friends we made at Mataranka - a young couple Matt and Barbara and their daughter Yohanna. We arrived at the caravan park and set up then just relaxed at camp for most of the day as we were a bit exhausted from the last few days of LOTS of walking at Mataranka. We then went for a drive into town and had a look at the Katherine hot springs along the way (they were beautiful and warm like the mataranka ones). We bought some groceries and booked in for a cruise of the Katherine Gorge for tomorrow.

We spent the afternoon/evening at camp chatting with our friends and watching their daughter and Zac play. They had an absolute blast together! They absolutely adore eachother and they play so well together. I love watching them play, its very cute. We ended up having a few drinks and eating a bunch of nibblies (instead of dinner). All in all it was a wonderful night and we now have plans for tomorrow night.

I cant wait to go for a cruise of the Katherine Gorge tomorrow.
