Finally we leave Kakadu

11 August



We have camped at many varied and different campsites, some of them bush and some of them commercial, the bush sites are definitely the nicest and if we find one that isn't overcrowded it is a bonus. This is how we set up at the Gunlom campsite

Back out onto the Kakadu Highway with quick stops at Yurmikmik and the Mary River Roadhouse then on to Pine Creek to check out the Railway Station museum, the Miners Park and the Pine Creek repeater station – the oldest surviving prefabricated structure in the NT which is now the National Trust Museum.

Next stop Katherine for refuelling and lunch by the Katherine river at the low level bridge, then back on to the Savannah Way on the Victoria River Highway to Gregory National Park and the Victoria River Roadhouse for the night.

There has been an abundance of pretty flowers dotting the countryside one in particular that is quite striking is the turkey bush.
