After a fabulous night at the Daly Waters Pub and way too many cheap wines with another young couple travelling with their 3 and 4 year olds, we headed off to Katherine. On our way we stopped at the Mataranka Hot Springs. This was a nice spot for a warm swim! Very popular with the Grey nomads! On our way back to the car, Mav decided he didn't want to walk anymore and Jas was getting cranky! He dragged him back to the car! Mav was hysterical and holding his arm saying it hurts like it was broken so I had visions of us having to find the hospital in Katherine and him having a cast on his arm for the rest of the trip. His arm wasn't swollen or bruised so we decided to see how he went (more on this later....)
We continued to Katherine and I have never been happier to see a Woolworths in my life! And the boys were very excited to see a McDonalds! We have spent the last week or so in some fairly remote areas where you are lucky to get bread and milk! We were just about to start eating baked beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner! All I cared about though was buying my WHO magazine!
The kids were nagging us to go to McDonalds so we did for dinner (and I think Jas felt a little guily about Mav's arm!). But it is amazing how a cheeseburger and an icecream can make his arm all better!!! The little bugger was banging it on and by the time we left McDonalds his arm was back to normal. I swear, we could have killed him! He is way too smart for a 3 year old!
We are staying at the Shady Lane Top Tourist Park and I think this has been the nicest place we have stayed in yet. Thanks to Nanna for the recommendation. And I was even more excited when I saw how nice the showers and toilets were! It's like staying in a luxury hotel! We have stayed in some dodgy places with dodgy facilities over the last couple of weeks for not much less than what we are paying to stay here.
We are thinking we might stay another day or too.....
