Today started slow, Craig cooked the kids pancakes. After discussing plans for today, then resting from the heat, we went to see The Ghan roll in from Darwin. Just down from the road from the park is a back road level crossing that was perfect. As we were early Kate wanted Red Rooster chips, so of we go. RR drive through was not pretty so we raced back
We were back in time but no Ghan.
Shit maybe we missed so we headed around to the station. No Ghan, but a massive freight train was waiting. We parked on some nice grass with a good vantage point until a grumpy old troll came and told us of from driving on her sprinklers.
New parking spot and in it came. Wow, what a massive train
Next stop, the Katherine museum. Some interesting stuff, some not so interesting stuff. The dvd on the 1998 floods was great. It was massive, hard to comprehend.
Then off to The Gorge to see where where our breakfast cruise would leave from tomorrow.
The tour starts at 7am, we need to be there by 6.45 and it is about a 30min drive – i wonder if Fi will be able to get up!! Then once back we break camp and head north
