Darwin 2012–Banka Banka to Katherine

What a great nights sleep we had. Banka Banka is a non-powered campsite so we had no air conditioning or fans. To solve the issue of the heat, it was still around 38deg, we fully opened the van up, including all the vents. This, coupled with a full moon, meant i was basically sleeping under the stars and had a great view outside my window.

P1060444We got up early and took off by 6:30, electing to have breakfast on the road somewhere. This was planned to be cereal but in the end we had a cooked breakfast at the Dunmara Petrol station. Wow, a full cooked breakfast in the middle of nowhere for only $12. the biggest problem this caused was that once we arrived at Daly waters a few hours later we were still too full and could not partake of the Barramundi dishes for lunch.

Daly Waters was very interesting and we stopped here for a drink, before heading off to Rachels. We didn't stop too much but it wasn't a long day either.

We will be in Katherine for the next week before heading up to Darwin for the weekend.

Lastly, some Iphone/Instagram photos…

Trip Update

Well, Only 3 weeks left. I have updated the Katherine 2012 page with some changes to our plans, basically being Daly Waters wont be a destination on the first half of the trip now due to being full. They have a number of events planned for the weekend we were going to stay there so we now plan to stop there on the way home.

Mataranka is now looking like an alternative destination. Fingers crossed the hot springs are open when we get there as i think they close them during the wet season.
