We had a good swim

Katherine, Australia


We had a lovely swim at Mataranka, it was beautiful. It was like a Hollywood set paved area around the pool with tall palms and gentle steps moving taking you into the pool. They weren't serving Champagne which would have finished it off nicely though. The pool was built by the army during the second world war while they were stationed in the North. It was for officers use only - obviously! There were signs that the fresh water crocodiles around there are harmless to humans but I am inclined to not test that theory and the first sign of one I am running faster than you could ever imagine I could.

I also forget to mention that at Daly Waters Pub when Glenn bought the drinks they tossed a coin and he guessed the result, if you get that right you do not have to pay for the drinks - we thought that was fun but unfortunately Glenn guessed wrong.

We are currently in Katherine and are planning to head for Darwin but stop for a day or two in the Litchfield Park before getting there. We are having a terrific time still - we havent got sick of each other yet!!!

Have you actually checked with Riley, Caitlin and Glenn whether they have got sick of 'each other'!!
