Left Mataranka and went on to Katherine where we met the riders interested in going to the Gorge, at Katherine we set up a group ride along the Gorge road for the camera crew who were following us in a helicopter, we still have not seen this footage but hope it will be on the final DVD.
When we asked about a boat ride into the Gorge at the visitors centre around 10.30am we were told the next one went at 1.30pm, so we opted for a helicopter ride over the first 3 Gorges at 12.00.
David Cooke decided to come with us on the flight even though he told us he wasn't a good flyer, Steve as usual did his best to give Dave cheery thoughts about the flight, as it turned out the helicopter was not much bigger than an egg cup and the pilot was still at school I thought. All in all we survived and decided this probably was the best way to see the Gorges.
The new accommodation at Katherine that we arranged was a 2 bedroom apartment really nicely setup and maintained, because we had moved to Katherine it took about 100 klm's off the next days ride.
Total Klm's 4,891 Klm's
