We pulled out of Jim Jim Falls camping area to get to Cooinda/Yellow Water to be on the 9am river cruise boat. Not being the leader of early mornings, I still managed to join the enthusiasm of being fed and packed and on the road by 7.30am. I even amaze myself sometimes. I even worked out how to add the READ MORE option to these posts. So click on the MORE thingy and we’ll see if it works.

We made it on time, and cruised off across the water and came across a crocodile within just a few minutes! We were in the last billabong of Jim Jim Creek before it joins the South Alligator River. The bird life there is amazing. We saw Black Cormorants, all sorts of ducks (can’t remember all their names), kingfishers, ibis, whistling kites, and probably more that I can’t even remember.
Below is a beautiful White Bellied Sea Eagle we saw.

We moved on through the creek and joined the South Alligator River. The wetlands went for miles. You could see some big fat wild pigs in the distance that they are trying to eradicate, and plenty of crocs along the way.

And here are some of the endless lily ponds………….

 And how about these Lotus flowers? Cool.

Next post – see all the Croc action!
