We spent the afternoon canoeing up Katherine Gorge. It was wonderful.
The colours in all those advertisements are not enhanced. The water is a lovely clear green.
We were allowed to pull up on the sandy beach areas for a picnic and swim.
However, we were not allowed on the sandy beaches marked: "Crocodile Nesting Area", as the crocs eggs were up there. Only Freshwater crocs inhabited these waters.
We were also told to avoid the Crocodile Traps, as they can be a bit dangerous - they were just there for safety!
Well, that's all for now. We have finally been able to access the net again.
We are about to head West now - (the main reason for this trip) and we should cross the border into Western Australia in a few days time. Then, we hope to explore heaps of the gorges across the top of Western Australia.
All the best to everyone, our family and friends. We wish all of Nat and Noah's friends and cousins heaps of fun back at school next week - the boys miss you all.
Lance and Cathy send their love to all the family and friends too. (I'm sure Dad would like to say that he misses everyone, but I can assure you, Retirement is suiting him well and he is not missing working!)
Lis & Ant send their love to all also. Thanks heaps for your comments and Text messages (when we do actually have reception). They mean a lot to us. We know where home is.
God bless you all richly. (It may be a while before the next blog again). Love to you all.

Hey guys,
Glad you got to chill out after getting up close & personal with a few of the prehistoric locals! I had a bit of a chuckle at your version although I'm sure there wasn't alot of jocularity at the time! Hope the trip west goes well!

Dear Nat,
