On Wednesday we woke up (to a deflated airbed!) and we decided to do a walk into the top pool of Edith Falls before heading to Kakadu. It was about half 8 in the morning but it was still roasting hot, but we walked for about 45 minutes until we made it to the top of the waterfall. It was well worth it, it was beautiful, one of the best waterfalls we'd seen. We paddled for a bit and then started heading back. We passed a park ranger who started saying we could actually go a different way back to the car park, which we took, and it ended up only being about a 25 minute walk! Why were there not signs for this in the first place??!
We then set off to Kakadu National Park. We stopped off at several things on the drive through the park - including a Crocodile lake where we got chatting to a man from Adelaide. Didn't see any crocodiles here though mind. We did a walk around an area that had some Aboriginal art. This was cool however by now we were getting very annoyed! So far on this trip we've seen some dangerous creatures - big spiders, a snake, a dingo, even some of the kangaroos can be violent. But our deadliest enemy we believe… are flies!! They are starting to really annoy us now flying in our ears and eyes. We must really smell, or they are just pains!
We arrived at a campsite and pitched then decided to have a swim in the camp pool - which turned out to be really fancy with a bar next to it. It was lovely to cool down. We made our dinner, keeping an eye out as another four legged animal was circling us, we couldn't decide if it was a pet dog or a dingo. Later we read a leaflet saying dingo's hung round the campsite please don't feed them so guess it was the latter. After that we headed back to the pool to try cool down before bed. Conveniently we were camped right next to a group of loud Germans and a snoring man who eventually kept the noise down.
