Before setting off today we stopped briefly at the Springs to take a few photographs which we had neglected or been unable to do the previous day. Then it was on to Katherine only another 110 km further north. After stopping to refill a gas cylinder and obtain groceries we drove a little way out of town to book in to what was then the Shady Lane Campground (now Discovery Parks Katherine). We then headed back into town to find someone to deal with my blocked ear. Before long we found a Health Centre and a lovely nurse was able to achieve what the man yesterday was unable to do - bliss, being able to hear clearly and without the loss of balance that a blocked ear canal results in. Our next move was to drive to Katherine Hot Springs where we proceeded to spend a very pleasant afternoon swimming through the Springs and chatting with another couple of similar age who were in Katherine to visit their son who was a RAAF pilot flying Hornets out of the nearby Tindal Air Base. Feeling refreshed after this we headed back to the campground and turned on our aircon to deal with the 37° C heat.
