Mt Bundy Station

Today we drove north from Katherine to Adelaide River, with a short stop off in Pine Creek.  We are staying at Mt Bundy Station, which is a brahman cattle and quarter horse stud, that also has a caravan park, with a large unpowered camping area.

This afternoon we visited the Adelaide River War Cemetery – it is a humbling sight.
https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2023510/adelaide-river-war-cemetery/ It is beautifully maintained, as it should be; and includes a section for Darwin’s civilian casualties of WW2, as well as the graves of Australian, British and Canadian service men and women.  On returning to our camping area, we headed for a cold swim in the pool – it probably wasn’t all that cold, but compared to the 36 degrees they call winter here, it seemed cold.  Hayden had his first horse ride this afternoon (half an hour) and enjoyed it - see the before and after photos below.
