We called at a liquor shop to get some wine, but were told the shop would not be open until 2pm for sales. We'd noticed signs on the highway coming up about alcohol regulations, but who reads a sign with lots of writing on it while doing 120kph? Anyway, we came back to Rosie for lunch, then went into town again to go and visit the museum...which was really interesting....we didn't know that Katherine airport had been bombed by the Japanese! Anyway, back to the wine....we called at the liquor shop on the way back, picked up a cask of red and one of white, took them to the counter, and the girl said, "you can't buy those together, you'll have to buy one each....and I'll need to see photo ID." So, we each bought a cask....not only do you show your licence, but they scan it into the computer to make sure you don't have a record of having bought more than one cask a day!!!
Before tea we went for a walk to the far end of the caravan park...ther were several outback tents that tourist operators use. The people are brought in on buses, their food is all set out in a big outdoor area...trips to the gorge, etc are arranged for them. We saw several cute little kangaroos.
We also went for a walk down to the edge of the river, and saw a croc sunning itself on the opposite bank. I took a photo, but it is really hard to make out.
