Left 8:45. Went out to Katherine Gorge. Walked onto boat tour of the gorges. Quite spectacular. Windmill palms Butterfly Gorge. Walk between. Aboriginal paintings untouched. Beautiful sunny morning with a light wind blowing. Inspected German machine touring the world. Massive vehicle. Stopped in Katherine for fuel. Lovely sandwich shop also bought salads for tea. Up the track went into Pine Creek Museum. Old building with great old fellow to show us through. He had station equipment, minerals, and Chinese display. WorldWar II, We of the Never Never etc, etc. Good old photographs, best chinese collection I’ve seen. Medicine bottles, soy sauce jars, etc. Well done. Then on to Howard Springs, rather a boring trip. Fires burning along the way, undergrowth fires. Booked into Caravan Park at Howard Springs. Then we went to the nature park to swin in the natural springs. It was a very pretty spot. After we climbed out we saw turtles and fish in the water. Nice salads for tea.
