Day 23. Today we drove 80 km into Township of Kunnunnurra, Western Australia along the back road following the Ord River. Fishing for barramundi was on the agenda and we came across a big open section looking out to the big mesa called Houseroof Hill. We heard a massive splash upstream so out came the binoculars to see a huge crocodile opening his jaws on a water bird. Then we noticed several of the big creatures milling about in the water just upstream. Time to head back to the vehicle so our next stop was Ivanhoe Crossing where we had a quick dip and fished the rapids. Later we found out an aboriginal was mauled by a croc here last year! This place is a constant danger to fisherman from the Deep South! Into Kunnunnurra to the Saturday town markets, fresh local rockmelons for lunch today. Checked out the town, very pretty with a great bakery/coffee shop. Back to Parry Lagoon tonight for dinner with our friends around the campfire of barramundi, king prawns and mulloway.
