This is where we stayed in Gunlom. We were running off our battery because there was no electricity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n This is the first croc warning sign that we saw. We have since seen lots of yellow ones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Under the the rainwater tank we saw a Bower bird’s bower. He collects lots shiny and white stuff – like foil and snail shells.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then we spotted this Bush Stone-Curlew right next to the bower. They make a sound like someone being murdered at night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We walked up to the top of Gunlom Falls. It was really difficult.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We think this may be a Sombre Whip snake. We saw this at the top of Gunlom Falls.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We shared the rock pool with this water monitor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are Rainbow Bee Eaters. We saw these swooping on insects at the plunge pool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yellow Waters<\/strong><\/p>\n We went on a cruise at Yellow Waters. This is a White Bellied Sea Eagle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a Little Kingfisher. It was swooping down at the fish below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a salt water crocodile. This was the first time we saw salties.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are Magpie Geese.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a saltie that looks like a log. Sometime they mistake crocs for logs… and sometimes people mistake logs for crocs (a logodile).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the dominant male – most of the other crocs near him were female. His name was Kevin – named after Kevin Rudd. The guide said “because he is slimy like KR” (not sure where Tony is then?)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are some whistling ducks.<\/p>\n A Royal Spoonbill.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More crocs.<\/p>\n And more crocs.<\/p>\n and still more crocs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An Egret looking for fish to eat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jim Jim Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n We went on a long drive to Jim Jim Falls. We had to drive through some small creeks. We went for a nice swim when we got there after rock hopping for almost an hour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is where the falls would be, but they are dry at the moment. They look really speccy in the wet season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mardugal campsite<\/strong><\/p>\n We were walking along the river bank when Che said that a boat could come along and give us a lift – then one did! A nice couple from Darwin pulled in and offered us a lift.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We like going fast in the boat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were able to get really close to some crocs.<\/p>\n![\"Kakadu_1_1\"](\"http:\/\/travelblog.kristinmartin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Kakadu_1_1.jpg\")
