2 - 3 August Dunmarra



Back down the Stuart Highway we go. We stopped at Katherine for lunch and at Mataranka, the birthplace of Jeanie Gunn who wrote the book "We of the Never Never". The Daly Waters pub was a quirky place in the middle of absolutely nowhere, a few bantum chooks running around, a man making wooden souvenirs and the ultimate backpackers pub and campground with "The Chook Man" entertaining nightly,sounds interesting!!! We saw the aeroplane hangar that was used during the Second World War, monuments to the early explorers such as John McDouall Stuart that led a party from Adelaide to Darwin. What a fantastic feat.
