After leaving Mataranka we travelled into Katherine, most people go to Katherine Gorge when here, but we decided we will visit that on our way back through in a couple of weeks, we used some time here to finally stock up on supplies at a supermarket . We haven't seen a proper supermarket since the Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands! We have only been able to buy supplies at Roadhouses and the occasional Mini Marts which are more like doing your grocery shopping in a service station back home, except that you can buy frozen sausages in them and usually only frozen bread and long life milk. So it was nice to be able to buy some fresh fruit and vegies and decent food supplies!
It was going to be Aidan's birthday in a few days time on the 13th of June and we realised that we were going to be camped out on the Daly River so we agreed that we would have is birthday lunch and dinner early as we would not be able to get any good food out at the Daly River. So Aidan decided he wanted Pizza for lunch and Taco's for dinner. Well you can't buy pizza at lunch time anywhere in Katherine so we had to trade that for McDonalds (it was the first Macca's meal on our trip to date!). Then we bought the ingredients for Tacos and headed out to a little dam near the town of Pine Creek which is just north of Katherine and cooked up his birthday meal. It was a really lovely place for dinner, and we then headed into Pine Creek to camp the night and have birthday cake.
