We left Mataranka and headed to Katherine, another beautiful day. We went to the visitor's centre and got some more info and arranged our activities for our couple of days in the Katherine area. After a quick shop, we headed to the hospital and were able to collect my first medical stock delivery. I feel so blessed to be given this life sustaining
nutrition, and have it shipped so far from home, so I can have these
moments of being normal and get to enjoy life and exploring our amazing
country. We managed to find a place that sold the electrical components
that we needed to fix the water pump in the Clipper, so it's good to
have that fixed and not have the water turn off at the most inconvenient
times. (like having just started washing your hair)
We headed out to the Cutta Cutta Caves and enjoyed a tour
of the caves. They are limestone caves with some amazing features
within. There was a resident olive python near the path in the cave,
that was over 4 metres long and was really quite beautiful, it almost
didn't look real. From there we headed out to the Nitmiluk National
Park/ Katherine Gorge and booked in for the next couple of nights. We
had a visit from the young family that had done the cave tour with us,
as their young sons were fascinated in the buses. We enjoyed the evening
and dinner outside, as it was warmer than Mataranka and a nice night.
