A big day today. Need to do quite a few kms to get to Mt.Isa in time for the Patrol to be serviced on Monday morning. Shady Lane Caravan Park at Katherine was a lovely quiet and very clean park. While we were in Katherine I bought myself a new Motorolla Defy Phone. It is going to take some time before I am proficient in it’s use. Very frustrating – feel like throwing it, but Barry wont let me!!!!! Beautiful country. I am sitting watching the landscape pass by. One side of the road has been burnt, so the trees have black trunks and the undergrowth looks like lawn. On the other side of the road it hasn’t been burnt and the undergrowth is quite dense and looks like straw. This goes on for miles & miles. Morning Tea @ Larrimah and alas Fran’s Pie Stall is closed. Didn’t really matter we still have fond memories of the great pies on the way up, and Barry is on “rations”anyway. Magnificent day, no wind, no clouds and expected to get to 32 degrees – too good!!!!!. Lunch was under a huge shady tree at the historic township of Newcastle Waters inside the church grounds. The church is made of wrought iron and there were no windows in it. Not much else here to see…..Free camp tonight behind a gravel pit approx. 15kms North of Renner Springs. Had the camp fire going and cooked spuds for dinner. After dinner we turned all the lights off and watched the stars to see who could see the first shooting star. (Wayne won) Magnificent black sky with no clouds and billions of stars. This is why I named the camp site Starry Night.
