Troy with the only photo of Katherine Hot springs.
German back packers doing what only backpackers can do... Sunbake.. Good work Troy |
 |
Another long straight road
|
 |
The nights camp at Big horse creek just out of Timber creek on the Victoria Hwy |
 |
Troy promised Danielle he would hug a tree for here on the trip... It was bad enough he let the bloody Barra go because of her.
Hippies doing what hippies do best.... Damn Tree huggers |
 |
Sunday was Caseys Birthday.Small party for the little fella.. All the other campers looked at us a bit strange! All good |
 |
Home Made in the camp oven the night before... Honest |
 |
Thies dudes live in the Boab trees & do a on mass migration. No mozzies .... I guess something has to take its place. We are up north after all |
 |
seed pods on the Boab tree |
 |
When they fall they must be pressurised because the explode with the sound of breaking glass |
 |
some more successful breakages |
 |
We head to the boat ramp just at the end of the camp ground to see whats cooking. One of the crew who just pulled up reports a successful day with a whopping 108cm barra caught! FARK... they did have to travel 70 km down a croc infested river in a very small dingy to achieve such results. I never did see that barra... I reckon she worked for NT tourism commission. All the campers had a similar story to mine.. No damn Barra yet.. |
 |
Evening on the Victoria river |
 |
Troy having a nervous laugh after he found a legless lizard under his arse while sitting on the rock wall. The old fella in the back ground said only worry about the big ones. Last week he had a 12ft Python drift through the same point while he & his boys where fishing. It was a better option than the local 14ft croc that was waiting at the end of the boat ramp for them... |

NT speed signs .... Object unachievable
WA speed signs .. Realistic... especially when you have a camper in tow
 |
Yea baby home at last..... maybe! |
 |
Wrong turn here could end in more than just tears |
 |
Hey kids ... radiator springs off in the distance... Yes?.. No?? |
 |
A 10 mtr walk to the waters edge from our camp greets you with this view of the Ord river |
 |
FARKIN electrical fault... It only happens when you get water in the engine bay.... Troy was pissing himself with laughter yet again for the 10th time this trip... Thought i fixed it with some WD 40 on the windscreen wiper motor plugs earlier.... Job for tomorrow ...... |
 |
Fisherman's paradise |
 |
Croc's paradise. No fish landed while we observed them all fishing. A few Darwin locals sat near by laughing. They wouldn't do this up north. I recon they must have very good ESP or eyes in the back of their heads. |
 |
We head off to visit a workmate in the area & say hello. It will be quite plesant to greet him with a hello & a beer in the evening & not the usual 3 am phone call from Melbourne with the usual spiel about a telephone exchange that's in trouble & we need him to drive 10 hrs to rescue it ... yada yada yada....
Above his guard dog greets us at the gate.. A bit like my old mate Guinness..... with the drool & very happy to see you but without the humps... |
 |
Before we left I threw in a few Opera house nets to catch some fresh water crays. On return I went to check them to find a 5ft Freshie waiting down the bank. I will leave him be and wait until morning to check them. Hopefully I get the rewards for all my hard work & not him
