The countryside is changing as we travel south towards Tennant Creek. Tim saves some money fueling up from the Jerry cans. At some places fuel is $2.20!!! We stay on the side of the road at a lovely peaceful creek, and catch some little crabs in the pots. Too small though, so they go back into the creek.

















On the road again - Daly Waters Pub NT













We stop the night at the Daly Waters Pub/Caravan park. Its famous pub allows kids to sit at the bar and pretend to pull dad a beer!! Some other interesting features around the place too!

Amy is also taking after her Poppy!!

Our time in Katherine is at an end. We have attended Katherine Christian Convention, where many of the Aboriginal communities get together at Morrow Farm to sing, worship and have talks, whilst camping over the May Day long weekend. I find Mrs Millar there with Macca the dog. Mrs Millar writes "Mrs Millars Frogs" and we met her in Derby last year, so it was a surprise to see her there.
The girls attended Girl Guides just in time for Mothers Day - and their chocolate/card making session.
We have been staying and working for Matt and Lucy Schepisi here in Katherine. We took them out for chinese in town to say thanks for having us! And all got together in the bathtub of the job that Tim did for them for a final photo.

A welcome ceremony by the local tribe at Katherine Gorge.



We finally see John Williamson perform at a Ghan Anzac Tribute at Katherine Gorge. The local tribe do a welcome ceremony for all the visitors who have come today. A great time.



























We enjoy a lookout walk at Katherine Gorge on Anzac Day. We have come to see John Williamson except that the Katherine Newspaper put the wrong date in and he is coming tomorrow!!
And there is one photo here of us using Matt and Lucy's dunny as a coffee table! Eeewww. Also good as a foot rest and a extra chair at our table.




























For Jakes Birthday dinner we go out to the local rissole (RSL) for tea. Delicious. Then it was Easter and we celebrate with our friends in Katherine - the Gillespies - with a Bilby Hunt!!! MMMM
