I want waffle too much today as Craig has done a fine journalistic job! The jumping crocs were cool. It is amazing how far they can propel themselves out of the water. As we cruised up the river i could not help feeling stalked as you could see the crocs coming out and making a beeline for the boat.
More croc pics
We then stopped at the Humpty Doo Hotel for lunch. Craig and myself had the mixed grill. Up in the Territory a mixed grill ( well here anyway) was croc, buffalo, barra and ribs! Yummy and we got to try croc. Not bad and a bit like chicken but gamier.
The aircraft Heritage centre was cool. I had not heard of it but when Dad had rung the night before for Emma’s birthday he was telling me about it. The B-52 bomber (only 1 of 2) on display outside of the US, an f111 plus other planes. Dad also told me grandpa was stationed in that very location during WW2 in the 12th Aircraft Repair Depot ( i think that was what he said) which a google search says was moved to Darwin from Werribee.
After sitting behind Craig on the dirt road the Prado had dust everywhere. If you touched here you became red. The photo doesn’t show much but the next campside now has a nice red tinge from where we washed. Matt, Clare and Jess enjoyed helping wash the cars, or was it getting hosed down and buckets of water on them, not sure! Great way to cool off and hve fun like the good old days growing up.
