Thursday 14th July
*First, an amendment: I listed a Striated Bittern, which should have been a Striated Heron, seen at Home Valley.
*Another thing I forgot to mention: Reno Grollo is the owner of Ellenbrae –nearly 1 million acres!!
After leaving Timber Creek, the scenery was beautiful as the road approached Victoria River, with huge escarpments typical of the Kimberley.
We checked out the spot where we had seen the Hooded Parrots when we were in Katherine last time, as we passed by, but no luck. The Robs went again later in the day, but again disappointed, having no success.
It was lovely to be in a caravan park with good, clean facilities – after, doing several loads of washing I had a swim in the pool and a shower when it was very hot in the afternoon. The town was really busy with lots of people arriving for the Katherine show, which was on for the next couple of days.
We heard Curlews over night (Rob S said they were having a conference!)
