So, I headed off to Kakadu. Was told about a billabong down a dirt track and promised “lots of birds”
Lots of red dust was all I found and, the worst of it, I’d washed the car the previous day. Sheesh!
Anyway, on to Cahill’s Crossing which is the crossing over into Arnhem Land. Currently closed cos of Covid.
There’s a large sign
But, well, there’s “stupid” then there’s a whole other category
And right beside the memorial for the guy who was eaten.
I was standing next to a man and his son and we counted 19 crocs that we could see.
Then around the corner is Ubirr, renowned for its Aboriginal paintings. But, more to my liking, amazing rock formations.
The Yellow Waters cruise is famous and a “not to be missed” item on the Kakadu agenda so I headed on to Cooinda Lodge and booked for the sunrise (the best) tour.
Got up at 5.30am and breakfasted by the full moon and the magnificent sound of dingoes howling close by.
Then caught the bus down to the wharf.
And on to the boats. What a fabulous trip! Lots of crocs, birds, buffalo, wild cattle, wild pigs etc etc. Wonderful trip!
You may not appreciate the size of the wild boar, because they’re at a distance, but they are huge!
