15.01.2022 Seems there is more than one famous cyclist from Katherine... Former word champion cyclist Cadel Evans was born in the Katherine Hospital in 1977, and spent his early childhood in the small Aboriginal community of Barunga, 80 km east of Katherine. In 2011 Cadel was the winner of the 2011 Tour de France. Dreams become reality with a bit of passion, determination and hard work!... #cadelevans #katherineNT @CadelOfficial
