Adelaide River and Katherine Gorge

Doug and Fellette are currently in the "communications black hole" which is Northern Australia. They asked that I post a brief description of the day's itinerary for the coach tour that they are on for the next few days.

Day 2 Fri. Katherine Gorge Dinner Cruise.
Commentary taken from tour brochure, pics from the net.

Today we depart Darwin for the quaint town of Adelaide River, where we visit the Adelaide River War Cemetery. Here 434 servicemen are buried, all of whom died as a result of the Japanese bombing raids in 1941-42. After pausing for reflection, we head to Katherine for a dinner cruise through the Katherine Gorge, one of the 13 gorges cut into the Arnhem Land plateau by the Katherine River. A local guide will provide commentary on the plants, animals and Aboriginal rock art while we watch for freshwater crocodiles.
Stay: Katherine, Knotts Crossing Resort.
