Daly Waters is an amazing little caravan park hotel haven about 300km south of Katherine NT, just in off the Stuart Highway. We stayed there a couple of nights a week or so ago (tempus fugit), and played (they have live music every night! Current resident musos staying there until July). We have been playing a bit along the way, in caravan parks for the folks, or at events we invite ourselves along to... more on that in a later post.
Mornings till about 10am see a lot of slow coming and going as last nights guests check out, and the new day's visitors start to drift in. That morning the roar of Harley engines amped up the regular traffic. Dogs cowered as one biker then another growled in, accompanied it seemed by distant music. As the third biker arrived the tune got loud, louder than the bikes, pumping from the last rider's onboard sound system. And the song playing was "The Sounds of Silence". We saw him and his mobile sound system again further up the road at Matarangka (amazing thermal springs)
