We get a later start today, do some shopping in Katherine for the next few days, leave Katherine at 10 AM. We only have to travel about 50 kms today.
Arrive at Edith falls and throw the ranger into a tizz when he assigns M and me a spot that has someone in it – all other assignments are now thrown into disarray since we move into the next vacant spot which has already been assigned to 2 people and so on. Apparently the people in our spot should have left. Any way it was all sorted in the end.
It’s very hot so we laze about for a bit then check out the falls – beautiful ( I wish I had more adjectives). Back to camp for lunch, more lazing about (I believe a photo is coming of me dozing in my chair (thanks John).
We go swimming Ughhh cold! until you can submerge yourself then quite pleasant
Tony, Jennifer, Peter D Susan, John, Lanlan Norbert, Wanda, Michael and I decide to walk to the top pool, 2.6 kms – 2 hours (round trip) says the board. Hmm does this small distance taking so long tell you something? Uphill, very rocky in places and hot, in other words quite difficult – especially for very unfit me.
However, well worth it - a beautiful place. We continued the trek back, hehe this way is much easier, looks like we chose to come up the most difficult path.
I can hear blood curdling shrieking as I type this. I have been told that it is a curlew.
The evening is very mild we are all sitting around in T shirts under a full moon. Magic!
