We dragged ourselves away from the springs this morning and drove to Timber Creek. This will be our last stop in the Northern Territory; tomorrow we'll arrive in Kununurra WA. I've always remembered the springs as one of my favourite places in Aus and after our three night stay, they still are. I can't wait to visit again one day soon!
We were quite pleased to pay "just" $1.79 a litre for a bit of fuel in Mataranka so were ecstatic to pay $1.55 in Katherine. We went in and did a small shop in Woolworths but there was no point getting to carried away as we cross the border tomorrow and can't carry fruit and veg in with us), I got some more shorts in Target and some fresh bread at Brumbys.
The Victoria Highway was a bit chopped up with flood damage so the going was slow at times but once again the country was looking so great and the cattle like big fatty boombahs. I especially enjoyed the Victoria Escarpment Region with its towering red cliffs mile after mile and lots of water in the creeks that feed into the Victoria river. We spent quite a lot of time travelling through here a few years ago, so it wasn't too hard to drive straight through.
