Katherine Gorge

We got to Katherine Gorge, turned a corner onto a deserted trail and spotted this little guy. I grabbed TJ's arm and whispered "is this real life?"


Then we took the "easy" trail up to the top of the Gorge.


It was by no means easy. It was basically climbing stairs straight up a canyon wall. But instead of stairs it was mostly stair-like rocks, no handrail and a plunge to death if you moved 2 mm in the wrong direction. 

But the view was beautiful!


So beautiful that you almost wanted to go swimming. Until you remembered, of course, that those glistening waters are infested with hungry saltwater crocodiles. 


So, uh, maybe not. 



Walking a different way back to the bottom of the Gorge we discovered that it was dinner time for kangaroos! We lost count at about 30! Magic!!
