Amazing Kakadu

Since Borroloola, we have camped at Daly Waters (behind the famous pub), Katherine, where we visitied Nitmiluk National Park. That's what Katherine Gorge is known as these days. We did the three gorge cruise there which we reallyenjoyed. Then we moved up to the northern section of the park at Edith Falls. This was a really beautiful spot and a lovely swimming hole, which was very welcome as it has been very hot here. We moved north from Edith Falls into Kakadu. We had two nights bush camping at Gunlom Falls and we have had two nights here at Cooinda on Yellow Waters. We did the sunset Cruise and then were able to but a second cruise for an extra $10 each, so we chose the sunrise cruise. They were both wonderful experiences, but the sunset was prettier as it waas actually raining here this morning. It has been so very hot and does not cool down much at night. Last night there was a bit of cloud around and I had a big huntsman spider crawl on me - no, not pleasant. I said to Alan - if we were in Tasmania I would say that seeing a huntsman is a sign that it is going to rain, butI don't think that would apply up here as it doesn't rain here until October.

It waas so hot when we went to bed but about 1.30 tis morning it started to rain and it was still raining off and on this morning. This did cool things down temporarily and we did the Nourlangie Rock art walk in relative coolness. Tomorrow we move onto Jabaru and Darwin next week when I hope to upload more pictures and respond to those of you who have been making comments.
