As we drove out of Katherine we felt a desire to find a good swimming hole, since we’d been taunted by hellishly hot weather and plenty of inviting looking water that we couldn’t (absolutely not… under no circumstances… don’t even think about it) swim ... Read more >

Sunday, 9 Mar 2008 | Views [667] | Comments [4]
