Monday...1 August 2011

Happy birthday to all the horses.......

Guess what? Guess what?
I just ticked another huge one on my bucket list. Right now I am sitting slap bang in the middle of Kakadu. How good is that?
Gotta love getting away from it all!!!
Man in his natural environment, complete with mobile phones and working internet.......
We left Mataranka nice and early and travelled to Katherine with only one small stop to top the tank with the contents of the jerry can. Never mind,  we only miscalculated by 50kms.
Life appeared as usual in Katherine. Some going about their business working hard, the rest sitting around the parks under trees waiting for the bottle shops to open.
We got groceries and fuel and hit the road again.
Came up to Pine Creek and turned onto the loop road that runs through Kakadu and comes out on the way back to Darwin. We had to stop at Mary River  Roadhouse and pay $25 per person for a 14 day pass to enter Kakadu, then it was on to Cooinda which is where we have camped for the next two nights. From here we are taking a two hour crocodile spotting cruise in the morning on the Yellow River which is part of the  South Alligator River. This is not the famous jumping crocs tour but I will be happy to have a nice quiet little trip.
