Awoke early at the Victoria Crossing Roadhouse, so headed for the
showers to be greeted by a large Cane Toad, which is not the prettiest creature
I’ve even seen.
Heading off towards Darwin stopping for petrol at Katherine, which was
the cheapest at $1.49 per litre. We have notice that the kombi runs much better
with the higher-octane fuel and we also get better millage.
Leaving Katherine we were surprised that the road was so undulating for
nearly the whole run to Darwin, the Kombi didn’t like it as it increased the
temperature and there was only one lane so being overtaken was a problem.
Several sections of the roads were damaged due to the recent flooding.
On the way went through Pine Creek and had a short stop at Adelaide
River to take some photos of an old Commonwealth Railways train.

On arriving to
Darwin we decided to check into a Top Tourist caravan park as we are a member and
as we drove into the section where we where to camp there was Martjin and
Marika set up along side us. How funny was that, so we sat around chatting over
a few xxxx beers. We soon realized the caravan park was very close to the
international airport by the frequent roars of jet engines.
During the night Darren was awoken by this noise in the front part of the tent so he opened the door peered out and was face to face to a very cheeky possum going through our food. We scared her off only to have her return knocking things over we left a light on and luckily she stayed away.
