Time to head south

It was great to hit the road again and retrace our steps back to Katherine. After a fairly uneventful journey we arrived back at the same caravan park we were at 3 weeks ago. It was 38 degrees when we jumped out of the car, but the lack of humidity was refreshing!

We are here for a couple of days before heading south so we can visit Edith Falls in the Nitmulik National Park. The lake at the falls was a refreshing swim and a real relief from the heat here. This part of the world is quite hot day in and day out, and the numerous hot springs and cool spring fed pools are a welcome relief.

We also had the pleasure of being bitten by sandflies which leave large welts and are very itchy and can stay on your body for up to 4 weeks. Luckily, we managed to find useful relief here at Katherine and have been able to sleep better at night.
