Kakadu

sunny

mm, writing this way after I actually went so I've forgotton lots, but anyway here goes.

Set off on Kakadu trip starting with a cruise on themary River, which has the highest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the world apparently. Definately not a place for swimming. After the cruise headed off to Ubirr an aborginie art site and where part of crocodile dundee was filmed, before they annoyed the locals and couldn't film there anymore. Camera decided that it had enough dust in it, lost the ability to focus and then just finally choked. Luckily somebody had a spare camera which I borrow for the trip, though didn't take as many pictures with it.

Next morning got up early to go to twin falls, climbed up a big hill and got to a beautiful river at the top flowing over a very big drop, carried on walking up the river for a while until we found a suitable swimming hole. Its safe to swim up there cos as yet crocodiles can't climb or fly up big waterfalls. Swam for ages up there and then walked back down to the bottom over some very big boulders. Then took a boat cruise to the bottom of Twin Falls, where you definalately can't swim, apart from the fact you couldn't walk across the sand because it was too hot. In the afternoon went to Jim Jim , climbed over more rocks and went swiming in a big pool at the bottom. Went back to campsite knackered.

The last day in Kakadu, walked up another hill somewhere ( i can't remember what it was called and went swimming again) I need to email somebody to ask, because I really can't remember what the place was called, maybe the lonely planet will give me a clue. I'll up date this later. Think we went to the visitors centre as well.mmmmm I've got photos, so if anybodys been to kakadu maybe they could tell me where I went.
