Day 51 – Timber Creek to Elliot

No rain – and nearly everything was dry! After showering, dressing and having breakfast, we cleaned the rubbish off everything and were able to pack them back in their original containers. However, because of the time change and the length of the previous day, our leaving was at after 9, not at the usual around 8. It was different looking at features from the other direction, so there was still plenty to see. We stopped in Katherine about noon to shop, refuel (and wash ARTIE) and have a quick lunch at McDonalds (I didn’t want to lose any time). Then we were off and down the track, finally pulling up in Elliot to find a caravan park. Once the tent was up, we had a quick drink and snack and looked around the town, which was taken over by fruit bats! We thought about having tea at the pub, but that was decided by them not doing meals (despite a board being up). Back at the park we finished off our mixed grills, had an ice cream, I did my blog and recharged the computer and then it was off to bed.
