Modlin Family Road Trip- Day 8- Darwin to Kakadu 255km

We have bid adieu to Darwin. We did have to make a stop at Spotlight for Belinda and the Darwin Showgrounds Rip Curl sale. An easy drive to Kakadu today. We arrived late in the afternoon and hastily arranged a 2 hour boat cruise on Yellow Waters. We did find it a tad expensive, but thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Amazing wildlife and we actually got tired of seeing the crocs- too many to count. What an amazing country we live in. I just sat back and enjoyed creation. Not too many photos for you. I forgot to put the memory card into the camera. All these photos were taken on Belinda's iphone and they are not too shabby I might add. Contrasting weather conditions confronted us. Humid, hot (39 degrees) and a pre-monsoon season shower all on the cruise. An amazing light show at night.



King of the cruise.

A great scene. You have to be here to really appreciate the scenery but also thousands upon thousands of magpie geese coming home to roost for the night. Apparently, very tasty.




Posted by PicasaMaybe someone can explain to me why these 2 photos, taken a minute apart, have this incredible colour difference. If it is just the effect of the natural light, then this is exactly what we thought we saw. If I had just remembered that memory card!!
