Saturday 26th April 2014 Daly Waters Pub Free Camp – Shady Lane CP @ Katherine



A little sprinkle of rain during the night last night, but, not enough to cool things down at all.  Very hot and humid trying to sleep and quite uncomfortable.  Today we plan on stopping for a pie at Larrimah and then onto Mataranka for a swim in the thermal pools.  When we travelled to the NT with joy & Wayne in 2011 we stopped at Larrimah for a homemade pie and Barry is really hanging out for another.  Unfortunately got to Frans Pie stop and it was closed.  As it turns out, thankfully, she now charges $15 which is outrageous.  Had a bit of a look around the Pink Panther Hotel at Larrimah and was very disappointed.  Very run down and absolutely NO character whatsoever.  Maree was stunned that they could keep a beautiful frilled lizard in a cage not much bigger than a shoe box.  We may have to let someone know about that.  Called into Mataranka for a swim in the Thermal pools which was very nice but not cooling at all as the water temp is up around 30 degrees.  We then stayed for lunch at the Bar at Mataranka for a treat to ourselves.  Staying at Shady Lane Caravan Park at Katherine for a couple of nights before heading further north.  Great pool and lovely shady sites with grass, how good is that….yippppeeee.
