22nd July. Went to the Katherine Heritage Museum this afternoon and spent an hour looking through the photos and stories that covered the history of this town and surrounding areas. I learnt something that I had not been aware of, when studying a map of Australia, it showed the areas of Northern Australia that were attacked by the Japanese during WW2. I thought it was only Darwin and Cape York that had been attacked, but not so. The submarine and bombing attacks covered the whole area from Broome to the barrier reef and as far inland as Katherine. Very interesting. Ran out of time so have a pass to return to- morrow and look at all the outside exhibits. Val spent the day at her sewing machine.
23rd July. Finished looking over the Heritage Museum, which included a Tiger Moth Plane, used
for their Flying Doctor Service. Went to have a look at Knots Crossing. The water was flowing fast and I was told by a local that the fishing is good, in the right season. We had dinner at the local Country Club to-night and the meals were great and the poker machines were kind to Val. We leave for Darwin in the morning.
