Saturday 28th July 2012 - Katherine Gorge - Kakadu

We started the day with a walk up to the gorge lookout. We didn't make it to the waterfall section as the kids didn't want to do another walk. The view was great of the huge Katherine River and of the gorge walls.

We left around lunchtime and drove north towards Kakadu. On the way we drove into Edith Falls (a recommendation from our friend Nicole). It was a lovely spot. I imagine that it would look really spectacular in the wet with loads of water. The kids had a quick swim before we headed into Kakadu.

We drove onto Kakadu. At the Mary River Roadhouse we bought our passes for the park and then decided to make our way to the Gunlom Campsite near the South Alligator River after a talk with the very helpful woman at the information desk. We met some nice people around the campfire that night - Wendy, Tony and Alex from Darwin and Sue, Axle and Max from Canberra. Max was the same age as Thomas so they had fun playing together - especially with the lego!
