Katherine

We went to the Katherine Outback Heritage Museum - this was fabulous and very interesting. Highlights include Dr. Clyd Fenton's aircraft, World War II display, Overland Telegraph & history of the pioneering peanut Farmers. The museum is located on the town's old aerodrome.

                                 Some old things- Whoops I mean 2 old trucks and Steve!!!!

                                 This Gypsy Moth Plane belonged to Doctor Clyde Fenton.

We moved on to see the Katherine Icon - Sabu Sing. This bronze statue was a project of the Northern Territory Cattlemen association  in 2002. (The year of the outback). This statue was modelled on Sabu Peter Sing (1940-1993) a member of the Wardaman tribe, he was a skilled bushman, horseman & stock man. He represents the courageous pioneers.

                                                     Me & Lizard Lisa with Sabu Sing.

                                                       Me in Katherine Hot Springs.

Katherine Hot Springs.

Now Katherine Hot Springs are located 5 mins from the town centre,

These are natural thermal springs at a constant 32 degrees. Indeed these are very pretty, with 3 larger areas, however they were not as pretty as others we have seen and seemed a lot more worn - I guess that is due to there location. Still worth a swim!!

We also visited Katherine Low Level Nature Reserve and the most exciting thing is, we have actually found out where Coolibah station is - those that watch keeping up with the Jone's will know how excited I am at this news.

Hopefully Chris & Trevor are enjoying Elsey National Park and last night on our Croc Cruise we meant 2 lots of people that know you - what a small (not) country we live in!!!!
