Day 115

After a very brief visit to Katherine to stock up on food, fuel, schoolwork, we headed on to Edith Falls for an overnighter. We couldn't swim in the bottom waterhole or falls, due to crocs. So we took a very steep walk up a lengthy track, on a stinking hot day, up to the next level of falls. The effort was well rewarded with a beautiful afternoon in the waterhole. We had a ball trying to beat the rapids and in the end let them swirl us around and spit us out where they liked. An afternoon storm broke the humidity and cooled us down on our trek back to camp. We woke to sounds of the bush apples dropping on the ground next to our camp. They smelt atrocious and made a huge squelch between your toes when you stepped on them.
