LAZY today, too hot, too humid, we did a historical museum, half
heartedly. The best bit was a video about the 1998 flood when the
Katherine River engulfed the town and all the outlying stations. We saw
the Katherine Gorge yesterday with its towering rock walls; during the flood it
filled nearly to the brim, that’s a lot of water. But we were low on
enthusiasm today, and the only bit that made us sit up was the big croc chasing
the fire dept out of
Woollies. |
