Katherine Gorge

This place is something else. Stick and I are on our way to Queensland but took a couple of days to check out Katherine. We also met up with Robin and Steph Duffy ... lovely to catch up with friends from Bright!


We did the 3 gorge cruise. This is the second gorge. According to Aboriginal Dreamtime, the Rainbow Serpent settled in this gorge after all the creation she had done. The indigenous people refuse to swim here for fear of waking the serpent up again.



Yup. Sticky IS the king of the castle.


The ubiquitous crocodile. Very small in this case. I defy you to find him on the rock.
And a black cormorant. (Who was probably bigger than the croc).

Ahhh! Don't let me fall in to be eaten by that giant croc!!!
A Boab Tree to delight us at the end of our cruise.
