Sadly it was time to leave WA - man we loved that place! Anyway, we crossed the border to Northern "we make up our own rules" Territory! More on that later, but despite the sadness of leaving WA, the Northern Territory didn't disappoint!
They don't have the open speed limit any more, still we don't see this sign in Queensland!
On the road between WA and Katherine, is the stunning Victoria River. We'd love to get back here too - it was awesome! We stopped for a quick fish of course. It was stinking hot and the water looked super inviting for a swim - crocodile warning signs everywhere though so I wasn't going to tempt fate.
No fish, but fun all the same!
The cliff faces were amazing (even if my photography isn't!)
We left Victoria River and headed towards Katherine. We had grand plans of hopping on a cruise at Katherine Gorge, but we'd heard mixed reports about how good it was and had just missed a cruise meaning we'd have to spend a lot of time hanging out in the information centre waiting for the next one. We weighed things up and decided to push on without seeing it. Perhaps it's a decision we'll regret but we figure it's close enough to Darwin if we ever want to go back. So, we kept on the road and headed to Adelaide River.
We spotted a few 'little' termite mounds on the way!
And finally we were in Adelaide River! A cute little town with a great pub (AKA "The Adelaide River Inn)
The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Pub meal and a bed (no swags!)
Wish we had: Not bothered to drive into Katherine Gorge! (given that we didn't end up going on the cruise)
