On the Road to Katherine

We left our Novotel, Darwin, just before the 8am sun rise. A long day ahead as the distance to travel one-way (Darwin-Katherine) is 320Km.
Our first refueling stop was at a small town named Adelaide River. We took a 5-min drive to the War Cemetory, passing wallabies out for early morning feed.

Then we were back to the "hi-speed" Stuart Highway for another 200Km drive (speed limit 130Km).
