Day 23, Katherine Gorge
Now I'm back on the road that never ends
Well, sadly no rain overnight. The night turned out to be the hottest, stickiest night I think that I've ever experienced. I had every window, flap and hatch wide open. I had no sheets, no clothes and the fan going flat-out and still I was sweating!
(Arna Georgia)
It's been great, but I've had enough so, after a few short walks on the way out of Kakadu, I've started the long drive south.

I was thinking of going through Litchfield NP on the way, but now I've changed my mind. I don't like the idea of backtracking 200kms to get there so I'll have to give it a miss. I should've stopped there on the way into Darwin.
It's been v. hot today in Katherine and it's still 35° just after sunset, but it's dry heat so quite comfortable. I might have to take cover soon though. The flying foxes are streaming out overhead.
