Day 52: Fri 11 Jun - Katherine

10 (feels like 6)-28 degC, another chilly morning, warmed up nicely though

After breakfast, we waited till it warmed up a tad and then set off on the bikes. First stop was at the Black Russian Caravan Bar at the Info Centre for a coffee (strawberry milkshake for Greg) and a HUGE muffin each. That then meant we had to ride them off. We rode out to the Top Didj Cultural Experience and Art Gallery, about 7 km out of the city on the Nitmiluk road.  They had some really nice paintings and other stuff like bags, tea towels, etc.  Being on the road with limited room, we are not in the market for any "stuff" at the moment, but it's nice to look.

Back into town for some vehicle window washer liquid at Autopro, and it just happened to be closed for family reasons. Oh well, we found a really good product at Woolies, so all was not lost.

It was then time to get home to have some lunch. Wendy was still full from mornos, so did some last minute washing, then had an LLD. Greg's LLD followed soon after.  Last night in Katherine for this trip so we tidied up for an early departure in the morning.  

Lots of steam this morning at the Cascades
