Hi All

Still travelling well and enjoying the sights.

We left Mt Isa and travelled to Cape Crawford (Via Camooweal and Brunette Downs) When we got there, there was only the pub with the caravan park which
did not look inviting so we went across to the Gulf of Carpentaria and stayed at Borroloola. A very friendly town and another 60km to Bing Bong which is on the Gulf and where they export zinc. Nothing much else there except fishing. The boys did not catch anything but did try.

Then we travelled across to Daly Waters and visited the famous PUB with all its history attached. Just spent 1 night in Katherine and another tonight.
Katherine is a modern town and very tidy. We did the gorge tour on a previous trip so have just washed, stocked the pantry, and enjoyed power for our stay.

Tomorrow we leave for Kununurra where we will stay a week. Will spend 2 nights free camping on the way. The nights have been cold but the days are warm.

Meeting lots of lovely people who are travelling and the roads out here are just full of caravans. Everywhere we go the caravans are just lined up. Even the free
camps are packed. Katherine relies on tourists and I can honestly say I have never seen more anywhere else. Woolworths was a nightmare in Katherine not
only finding a park but the queues in Woolworths was frustrating.

Must away and dont forget to checkout the blog that H has set up www.poppandma.blogspot.com.au

Love to all. Miss you heaps. Ma and Poppa
