WE got to Katherine Gorge last night after attending the Barunga Aboriginal Festival. We are still hanging out with Steve's Parents, Pat and Eric.
It took a while to get organised and started today.
I rang Gary again. Dad is still out of his coma and he had a big hug with Leona when she got back from Vanuatu. Leona is dad's oldest (first) grandchild. I got to talk to dad via Gary's mobile. He put it on speaker phone for me. Evan and Sarah said hello too.
We had a look at Nitmaluk visitor's centre and at the prices of the boat cruises and canoe hire. We decided that they were very expensive and too commercial for us. Therefore we have decided not to go on anything.
We had lunch at the campsite and then decided to go to Cutta Cutta Caves. (Cutta Cutta means starry)
It was a quick tour and a look around before we come back to the campsite for a nice hot shower and dinner.
Tuesday 12 June
Today we walked up the gorge. Sarah and Evan walked to Butterfly Gorge with Pat and Eric. Harry walked with Steve and I to Pat's Lookout. At times the going was frustratingly slow - Harry is not too keen of a walker.
The view out over the gorge was pretty - it involved a lot of walking to see it though.
We came back via the lookout and climbed down to the bottom of the gorge to wet our feet in the river.
It was nice to get back and have afternoon tea.
I rang home about Dad. He has slipped back into his coma. They say that it is unlikely that he will wake again...........
