Initially it was very cold as the sun crept over the eastern horizon but after seeing plenty of crocodiles, numerous bird life, and even some Wild

The long grass on the roadsides this time of The year so fresh new
Growth in spring. They say it's good fishing if you have a boat but with the cool Weather the Fish are not really one the bite. Back at camp this afternoon we chilled out for a while. After dinner the national parks presented A power point presentation and talk on Kakadu which we thoroughly enjoyed, all about the wetlands, all birdlife, birdlife, crocodiles, snakes, the monsoon forests, the rocky areas, feral animals etc, it was very interesting.
