We’ll today was our last full day in the Northern Territory. We left Katherine this morning heading for a free camp about 300 K’s down the Victoria Highway. It was a very warm day with mid 30’s for most of the drive. The landscape in places is amazing, jagged rocky red cliffs on both sides of the highway, particularly as you come into Victoria River.

Our first stop was at Victoria River and the Roadhouse for lunch. So far on this trip we have been served by many “non-locals” and here in the middle of nowhere was a guy from Norfolk Island. The caravan park and immediate surrounds are nearly as big as Norfolk! From here it was short 100 K drive to our free camp possie at a gravel pit in Baines, which is a location really not a town. The gravel pits are a good free camp spot, normally large spaces with plenty of room. We had a couple of other vans on site too but it was a quiet night although the flys were a bit annoying.
