Another day killing time waiting for tyres and other stuff to arrive in Katherine. Rather than go back to Katherine we decided to spend another day in Pine Creek. It is a very pleasant little town. The Lazy Lizard campground has lots of shade and generally feels a little cooler than Katherine. Mid afternoon we heard from Tyrepower that our tyres had arrived so tomorrow we will get them fitted. Hurray !!

On dusk we went for a walk to the local parks to look at some of the old mining displays and also to watch the local fruit bats get ready for their nightly foraging excursion. It is interesting to see how the level of activity gradually increases untill all of a suddent the whole colony is flying.
