Day 47



Headed to Jabiru and on the way we saw acres upon acres of mango farms. Gerald did mention that he would hate to have to do the sprinkler heads on them.

We stopped at the Bark Hut and got some lunch and found a strip map of the Stuart Highway showing all the places we had been.

Yep you guessed it here I have been saying how well everything has been going well was today a BAD day. The road was really rough and the bus shook, the road was narrow with a bit of a drop off, the music was not the best and I had my head in the computer, we missed a turn, the fruit bowl that has sat on the counter for over six weeks smashed on the floor, we couldn't get in to a park, you could say things were a bit tense for a while. We got out and went to a information centre and the girl there pointed out some free camps and told us where the Kakadu Lodge was. I phoned them they said they had plenty of room but don't take phone bookings, so ended up there and booked for two nights but I think we will stay another two its very nice. Gerald got to use his Seniors Card and got a discount.

This is spooky but Lynne Terry had mentioned that they were coming out to Kakadu this weekend and they are here too. So she and John came round and we had a drink or two.
