Jumping crocs!

Our last night in the tent was on the edge of Kakadu National Park. It was raining so we camped under the shelter of the BBQ area! We had to put the tent down early before people started getting up and wanting to use the kitchen area!

On the drive to Darwin we stopped at the jumping crocs river cruise! It was brilliant! The Aussie skipper dangled pork chops out the side of the boat and made the massive saltwater crocodiles jump out the water to get them. We were amazed the crocs could jump so high, it felt like some might jump into the boat! Apparently most of the crocs have missing limbs from fighting each other, but we didn't notice anything missing, more focused on the jaw region! This one was 5.5 metres long and called Nifty:



The skipper wasn't quick enough with one pork chops and he lost it to the sharks who were also in the river! He also threw meat to the big kites who often caught it before it reached the water.


And now we're in Darwin trying to get our car sold before we leave on Wednesday. It's a bit tight, but fingers crossed.
