Kakadu

Day 17
On the road again a refuel then a short trip to Kakadu, we have planned to get there early so we can get a good camp site. We arrive at 10am and pull into Mardugal campgrounds, there are 2 sites here one for generators and the other for non generators. We opt for non site and after looking around we settle for a site beside fireplace and table, perfect solitude until later in day when another camper arrives and sets up 20m away.

 A lazy afternoon we drive into Cooinda to have a look see and check out the yellowwater cruise
Day 18
 Very hot here today we are off to Gunlom Falls is roughly 70ks from us and 33k in. I did not realise how bad the corrugations were and we shook our way all the way in. Once there it was worth the trip

We have decided to do the walk to the top of the falls, it is a steep climb and i have to encourage Wendy that she can do it and yes she does so proud of her. The top is so beautiful and the pools so inviting, now Wendy is pissed she did not wear her swimmers.




the drive home is long and hot but we are back early enough to get fire going and have a barbie. We are booked for the cruise tomorrow a 6.45am start 2hrs followed by a buffet breakfast so an early nite.
Day 19
 Up at 5.30am a quick cuppa then a 10 min drive to cruise
