The Adventure Continues.......

26th May 2013

Well not surprisingly we had a later than expected start this morning and once all the packing was done we had breakfast, said our goodbyes to Frank, Jackie & Kahli and left the house just after 10am. We made a fuel stop on the way out of town, which took a while and finally hit the road around 11am.

Our first stop of the day was some 40km away as we crossed the border into the Northern Territory, which was a great feeling.

We spent much of the day driving and explaining to the girls the fact that we had lost an hour & a half of the day due to the change in time zones in the Territory.

We stopped for lunch at Big Horse Creek on the Victoria River, it was great for the girls to see and know where Kim and I  launch from on our fishing trips. I must admit it was a bit strange not having a fish at the river today. I  dropped a key off in Timber Creek that I forgot to hand in from our stay earlier in the week and continued our drive for the day.

We spotted some nice bush camps along the way, but it was too early to stop, so we kept heading toward Katherine, hoping to find a nice spot at the end of the day. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and we ended up stopping at a reasonable rest area on the highway, along with about 12 other caravans for the night. The drop dunnies were some of the worst we'd come across, but at least we were back on the road again and loving it!
