This morning we took a two hour cruise on Yellow Water, part of the South Alligator River floodplain to view the wildlife at Kakadu, gliding almost silently amongst the giant lily pads. We saw rare birds, wild horses, white sea eagles, rare red lilies with giant waterproof leaves and at least 20 crocodiles, several more than 3 metres in length. We were amazed to learn that there is around 60 to 80 thousand crocodiles just in Kakadu, that’s saltwater crocs, the really aggressive ones.
It has been extremely hot the last couple of days, 39 degrees with 100% humidity.
Tomorrow we will farewell the Northern Territory and drive to WA spending the next couple of nights in Kununurra.
