Got into Nitmiluk National Park about lunchtime (am loving these short drives!). Beautiful place, the visitor’s centre had really good interactive displays for the kids and the pool was magnificent! Huge lagoon style number complete with palms and waterfall. Had a pretty chilly dip but didn’t care...sun filtering through the trees....not bad at all. They did buffet meals out by the pool, but figured after forking out for 5 of us to take a 2hr cruise down the Katherine River, our pasta dinner would have to do!
Cruise was lovely, went down the first gorge as far as we could go, got out and walked 400m, then hopped into another boat and continued along the second (it was a two gorge cruise). Saw 3 crocs! (freshies, but still our first ones). Charlie had a little bit of cabin fever stuck on a small boat, looking at rock walls, while trying to be quiet so everyone could hear the guide for TWO hours!!! Plenty of snacks did the trick..
Don't listen to mum Chachi - I would prefer to be fed snacks for 2 hours too :)
