- · Back to Katherine
After going
around Kakadu we headed back to Katherine and stopped at the same C.P. nothing
much changed a little more people around as the Katherine Show was on, so we
had a show day.
Pretty good
outing - seeing a big regional show was a lot to take in.
The highlight
was the rodeo. What a great spectacle and so close to the action. These guys
are absolutely mad and the two dudes that offer themselves as targets to get
the bulls off the arena are insane. Tough job - hope they were well paid as
they ran around all night being chased by angry bulls. As a sport these guys work harder than an AFL
player and a lot more dangerous, not to mention the Dunlop volleys- only in the
Territory.
We’re on our
way to the West.
Hooroo

We are really enjoying reading about your adventure. Not so keen hearing about close encounters with the local wildlife. Crocs and snakes will give anybody the heebeejeebies. So envious of the fine weather you are having. It has been miserable here. Cold, wet, frosty, windy, foggy. You name it, we have had it this winter. A great challenge for Greenkeepers. Russ and I are eagerly waiting for our own adventure to begin when we head off to Europe on the 13th August. I will continue with the same blog (6wanderingepsomites) even though there are only two of us this time. Warmer weather will be appreciated. Chris (at golf) mentioned that you were at Derby when he spoke to you. He also said that it had been quite some time since you had had a shower. Great!!!
ReplyDeleteNeil and Janet have headed south and are resting in Alice Springs for a few days. Still loving their journey.
Should be plenty of flora out for you to photograph soon. The photos posted so far have been great. Look forward to seeing more. Hope mine might be half as good! Keep on having a great time and we look forward to reading more. XX L & R
We shower quite regularly ,small van!. Ahh the joys of traveling as we have moved into Western Aus it just keeps getting better .Glad to hear you like the pics as we like being here to take them. You'll have a fantastic time O.S. And we look forward to reading about your trip. We hope both of you enjoy your time away.
