In this DVD
The journey in the Top End begins for Rob & Marg in this action-packed episode.
Starting in Katherine, they visit the stunning Katherine Gorge, and also discover the many other things to do in the area, from the Cutta Cutta Caves to the Katherine Hot Springs. They then head north on the Stuart Highway taking a pit stop in Pine Creek and meeting up with loads of fellow travellers.
Litchfield National Park and its impressive waterfalls are next on the list along with those giant termite mounds! Rob & Marg’s last stop in this episode is Darwin, where they tour a few of the town’s most famous attractions.
This trip in the Top End will continue in the next episode of Caravan & Motorhome On Tour, when Rob & Marg head off to Kakadu. You won’t want to miss any of it!
Come along for the ride!

Cooper Tires
John looks at different tyre conditions and what you should be aware of before you change your tyres. A worn tyre should be replaced when the tread blocks are the same height as the wear indicators at any point along the tyre.
There are three reasons why tyres wear unevenly: misalignment in the steering components, worn suspension or steering components and driving over- exuberantly. Check your wheel alignments every 10,000kms.
