The plan for today was to make as much ground towards the south as we could. We left Katherine Gorge at around 0800 and pulled up stumps at a small clearing on the side of the Stuart highway about 140km north of Tennant Creek.
Along the way, we dropped into the Daly Waters Pub for lunch. Daly Waters pub is a popular little spot. From the outside, it's an typical but interesting little bush watering hole. Inside, there is wall to wall memorabilia from years past and token donations from past visitors. The walls and ceiling/roof are not visible due to an adornment of caps, socks, undies, currency (coins and notes), shirts, x-rays (yes), patches, badges, medals, business cards, trousers - you name it. In history corner, there's an old telephone exchange, pots, billies, kettles, boots and lots of other old stuff. Anyway, you get the gist - just full of all sorts of crap. We had a look around, had a burger and left.
Our drive took us where we are now, as I said, somewhere on the highway. We got here at around 1630 having had enough for the day.
Tomorrow, we plug on towards the south.
