Katherine Day 1

After overnighting at a stop along the way, we arrived at Jayne & John’s place (Leanne’s sisters). They live 30kms out of Katherine on a magnificent 400 acre property with a stunning corrugated iron house with huge outdoor balcony enormous 100m2 living room with huge ceilings. Being the tropical climate that it is, they leave their sliding concertina windows permanently open. They built the house themselves and its just idealic for the climate.

Midget had a ball discovering the 40 or so resident wallabies visiting at dusk for feeding on the lush green grass around the house. The ran and ran and ran (again) and was missing for a white chasing the wallabies, that she didn’t even notice that she took off right underneath the middle of one of the three horses on the property in the chase!

Jane cooked us a lovely curry for dinner and we had a great chat about life and the universe. Jayne also had two ladies from one of the communities that she is helping set up art enterprises with. Wendy and Irene. They were both having a lovely time staying at Jayne’s getting ready to head up to Darwin for the exhibition.
