Day 2 & 3 in Katherine.

 John suggested a trip out to Cutta Cutta Caves so we set off on the 30 klm drive. Unfortunately by the we'd queued behind a large group we got told to wait until the next tour which was over two hours away! Not impressed as no mention on any blogs that this could happen so back in the car to Katherine. We had a nice coffee & decided we were happy not to have shared the cave experience with many small children. It was a very warm day so had a quiet afternoon.
  The next morning we got up & had a swim in the hot springs around 8.15 am & were quite surprised at the number of others with the same idea. We were lucky & had a pool all to ourselves & was quite enjoyable.

                                                                   

We drove into town later for fuel & it was so busy at the Caltex station with caravans & motorhomes queued out on the road . We looked at some markets but very dusty underfoot & not much on offer. The mall was very busy & Woolies was a nightmare so it was a quick shop. A superb day & 34 degrees so very pleasant sitting outside for happy hour. A very nice looking caravan called " Hollywood" attracted our attention but the vehicle to pull it with had every man green with envy. It was a F 250 ( think) but all new & shiny with a throaty roar but the back passenger side door had a nasty ding which rather spoilt the " look" . I loved the fabulous red towels hung on the line which went so well with the flashy image of the whole rig. Everyday we see hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of motorhomes & caravans on the road & must be a multi million dollar industry. Every caravan park has been packed & is the same going over to Broome & Perth & no doubt Qld as well. 

Tomorrow we move on to Batchelor for three night. Love Bev& Allan.
