Most of the adventures have arrived in Katherine ready for the start of the trip on Sunday morning. Great to catch up with old friends and also meet some new members. Hope they can drink  :cheers:

The group is enjoying a few days at Lake Argyle after visiting Zebra Rock Mine.

Some of us went on a fishing trip and even Mark VS caught a fish. Your's truly caught the first fish as expected.

Hey Mark,
You realise Mark VS's fish didn't happen unless there's a photo.

Our adventurers are currently relaxing in Kununurra for 5 nights after spending a few days at Lake Argyle.

We got permission to all park on the dam wall for some drone pics.
