Saturday- Sunday, 10-11 July, days 29-30
Left Darwin late Saturday morning, buoyed by the announcement from the Premier that WA would open the border to the Territory on Monday 12/7.
An uneventful drive back to Katherine, a brief lunch stop at Adelaide River. Set up and in the pool by 4pm – the ambient air temp was around 34 Celsius, the pool felt like 14 C ❄️.
Up early Sunday morning to get a walk in prior it getting too hot to be pleasant. We ended up doing a return walk smidge under 10km to a place above the first gorge called Pat’s Lookout. No info provided on who Pat was… how do you get a place named after you, but no one cares to explain? (Mark does love an interpretive panel… much to Ness’ ongoing boredom 😐)
The rest of Sunday was an idle mix of swimming and sitting in the shade reading, early night in anticipation of breaking camp early on Monday for the ‘dash’ (450 odd km) to the Border.
