Katherine

In Katerine, in the middle of the northern territories. Even when I'm travelling by train it seems I end up in the BP Roadhouse eating a plate of chips... the train is stopped here for 4h so I'm having a look round the town, but even at 8am Katherine is moist and hot so I will not last long.

Some lucky recipients will be getting postcards from around the world postmarked here (assuming the postoffice opens soon) (note to Laura: the reason you have not been getting my postcards is that they seem to have accumulated in my bag rather than going out with all the others...)

Should reach Darwin late this afternoon - hopefully there will be some hostels plying for trade at the railway station, else I'm fscked.
