Day 11

Today was a free day to wander the streets of Katherine. It started off with breakfast at a local school. We bought a helicopter ride along the Katherine Gorge for an hour.
Brenda went up for a ride at 10 am while Robyn finalised the last of our sponsorship money and participated in Armed Services Day. She turned up only to get a bucket of water thrown over her.
Brenda had an eventful ride in the helicopter, finding out that her stomach could not take the swooping and darting about that Gary put the helicopter through. In fact they landed in the gorge so that Brenda could regain her ability to finish the flight!teh flight was spectacular!
After Brenda went up from the helicopter ride it was off to the springs for a swim. The water was beautiful and refreshing, in a lush setting.
It was then Robyn's turn for a joy flight up through Katherine Gorge.
we then quickly changed and headed out to Katherine Gorge for a boat cruise. It was facinating to be in the gorge and see where the flood water levels reach. We were fortunate to see a freshwater Croc sunning himself in the afternoon.
Back at the boat ramp they had set up tables for dinner. It was a glorious setting with the gorge as the backdrop and the sky as our roof.
The meal was delicious and then we had Ian Moss entertain us. What an amazing evening. Ian is totally at home with his guitar and singing. The night was a late one and then there were the drinkers that needed to be driven home.
All in all it was a great night but a very late one.
Awards were also given out for various fundraising achievements. We got a half cup for raising over $33,000.
Brenda also got the Mug of the Day for her helicopter efforts.
