Early (5.30) start. Finished packing and left hotel by 6. Got a coach which took us to Kakadu, stopping at a roadhouse on the way for some breakfast (although we had brought same quiche and salad with us, so we were OK).

Saw some rock art, with about a 45 minute walk.

Another 40 minutes drive and then lunch. 1.00 we caught a shuttle bus, and did a cruise up the Yellow River, to look for crocs. Saw a few, as well as lots of birds and ducks. Beautiful countryside.

On our way back, we saw a croc swimming in the river. Awesome sight.

Then shuttle to the airport to do a scenic flight, to the Twin Falls and Jim Jim falls. Fantastic scenery from the air. Only way to see the place.

Scenic flight landed at Jabiru, where the coach picked us up, and took us to the Mecure Crocodile Hotel. We got off and said goodbye to our coach captain, and checked in.

Raced up to room, got changed, then to the bar to get a beer, and in to the pool. Another beer, and then a walk around the town of Jabiru. Everywhere was closed though.

Dinner at 7.15. We went the buffet and filled ourselves. Went outside to get a photo of the hotel (the eyes glow red). Lots of cockatoos in the trees – all in pairs. Off to bed.
