200kms from Katherine to the Victoria River Roadhouse with
no sign of people along the way. Hot, blue skies, dry rocky land. Roadhouse is
good but no shade or meat pies. Drive on 15kms to Joes Creek picnic ground.
Rocky escarpments all around. Circular work through amazing scenery up to the
escarpment and Livingstonia Palm Trees. Rock art under huge cliffs maybe 50
metres high.
Another 90kms to Timber Creek . Nice little place with a
good campground where we stayed and another where 4 people were too busy
learning how to use the till to help us. Peaceful night with soft grass, cool
starry night and the sound of the creek. 10kms further on is a bridge over the
Victoria River. Huge blue waterway. Campground nearby has lots of boab trees.
150kms to the WA border and the last chance to drive at 130kms. Dave changes
his steady driving and goes for it.
