Katherine Gorge

Another top day today- sunny and VERY hot...about 35 in the middle of the day. We went and explored lovely Katherine Gorge. Hired a canoe for a half day and paddled up the first two of the 13 gorges. The second is apparently the most impressive of the lot and it was great, with high walls on either side. We pulled up at sandy beach and had a swim (we needed it!) and travelling at our own pace in the canoe was nice, seeing some birds etc. I floated for a while and it was great staring up at the high rock walls. We then had lunch and went for a walk to some lookouts over the gorge. So a good day (although having now seen it, we both think Katherine gorge is a bit over-hyped. It's good- but not the best we've seen so far. Lawn Hill Gorge was better in our opinion).

Off to Edith Falls tomorrow, which we've been told are must-see waterfalls about 60kms from Katherine.

Love to all. xx
