Day 9
At Kakadu.
Short drive from dull Darwin. Kept waiting for it to become lush rainforest, but it never did.
Arrived at Gagidju Crocodile Resort and collapsed for a couple of hours with this bloody flu.
Luckil, hotel package had river cruise included, so in 40C and 90% humidity, it was off up the Yellow Water billabong and south crocodile river...not expecting to see any.....were we wrong! Evidently there's a croc for every 20 metres of riverbank. Got to see one cathching his own barramundi for dinner.
Plenty of birdlife too. Given the drive in you would never guess that this terrific wetlands was in the middle of it...we were very impressed and would love to come back and spend more time one day (preferably without being sick).
Terrific thunderstorm but no rain came from it...just a great light and sound show.
