We went to the Zebra Rock Gallery. The zebra rock was really cool – it is really stripy. There was a jetty and we fed bread to lots of fish.<\/p>\n
This is Dad feeding the fish. They took the bread from his fingers.<\/p>\n We could see Budha rock from the caravan park. Can you him lying down?<\/p>\n Matt got a new torch for his birthday. We went out croc spotting and saw about 10 crocs. Some were only about 40 cm long, others up to 2 m.<\/p>\n Keep River NP, Northern Territory<\/strong><\/p>\n While we waited for some car parts, we visited Keep River National Park across the border in Northern Territory. We saw some brolgas at Cockatoo Lagoon.<\/p>\n These are some Red-tailed black cockatoos and a kite. The kite is carrying something – food? or something for a nest?<\/p>\n When Mum went to the toilet, she found this frog going for a swim! (after Che had already flushed)<\/p>\n The aborigines used this hide to attract kites. They would light a smokey fire and twirl a stick with feathers to attract the birds. When the kites came down to investigate, they would pull them through the roof.<\/p>\n The rocks had caves and tunnels in them.<\/p>\n This tunnel made a nice picture frame.<\/p>\n The scenery was really specy.<\/p>\n Matt and Dad’s hats were blown off. Matt is making sure his stays put.<\/p>\n Bungle Bungles (Purnululu NP), Western Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n We got up really early (about 5.30 am) and drove over a really bumpy (corrugated) road into the Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles).<\/p>\n The bungles look a bit like bee hives. It was really hot (35 degrees C) but not as hot as it has been.<\/p>\n This is mum’s birthday photo.<\/p>\n We walked into Cathedral Gorge. It was nice and shaded walking in. There was only a bit of water left (it is late in the dry season).<\/p>\n There would be a water fall here in the wet season.<\/p>\n Matt is making a sand angel.<\/p>\n Matt took this photo.<\/p>\n Dad took this one (as usual).<\/p>\n We are standing in a hole made by rocks getting swirled around in the river. The rocks spin and dig round holes.<\/p>\n Here is a very pointy “bungle”<\/p>\n This is at the start of Echidna Gorge.<\/p>\n The gorge got really thin – about a metre in places.<\/p>\n Mum took this photo.<\/p>\n We stopped by a lookout as we were leaving and found another Matt.<\/p>\n There also seemed to be another Dad.<\/p>\n Fitzroy Crossing\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We went out to dinner to celebrate Mum’s birthday. This gecko was also celebrating by eating a red dragonfly.<\/p>\n Walking back to the campsite we saw a Tawny Frogmouth.<\/p>\n Tunnel Creek<\/strong><\/p>\n We went in a tunnel. It was 750 metres long. We had to go in shallow water to get to the end . There are lots of crocs there. Don’t worry, they did not come up to us .<\/p>\n This is us walking in water. We are wearing Mum’s shoes so we don’t get ours wet.<\/p>\n This is a bat that took off.<\/p>\n Che is pointing to more bats.<\/p>\n This is the other end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n We’re by the creek outside the tunnel.<\/p>\n We’re going back through again. There are some cool stalactites above us.<\/p>\n Daddy is carrying Matt across the deep bit.<\/p>\n We are crossing another bit of water.<\/p>\n This is another opening.<\/p>\n We are standing in the water.<\/p>\n We found a little cave with glittery rock formations.<\/p>\n Dad crawled through a small opening.<\/p>\n It was really dark in the tunnel.<\/p>\n We are nearly back to the start of the tunnel.<\/p>\n Windjana Gorge<\/strong><\/p>\n Dad found a grasshopper in the caravan. Matt liked it.<\/p>\n This a termite mound that looks like a massive pile of poo.<\/p>\n Some black kites are on top of a big boab.<\/p>\n When Matt gets hungry he eats this. (cornflakes)<\/p>\n This is our campsite. We found a big green tree frog in the toilet nearby.<\/p>\n A bower bird is tidying its bower.<\/p>\n When we walked into Windjana Gorge we saw a kookaburra.<\/p>\n We also found a fossil in the cliff.<\/p>\n Four freshwater crocodiles were near the bank.<\/p>\n How many crocs can you see in this picture?<\/p>\n The next morning Matt and Dad went for a walk in the gorge. Mum and Che couldn’t go because they were not well.<\/p>\n These are two cute double-barred finches.<\/p>\n We saw about 50 crocs. This is one of them.<\/p>\n This is a croc’s slither mark.<\/p>\n Here is another croc.<\/p>\n Matt is standing not too close to the croc.<\/p>\n Here is the croc’s sharp teeth<\/p>\n and its sharp claws.<\/p>\n These two crocs had a fight.<\/p>\n![\"Bungle01\"](\"http:\/\/travelblog.kristinmartin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bungle01.jpg\")
