Daly River (2)



Tuesday morning: a drive with just the car along the river. Sh.t, this is a beautiful countryside. Ending up at Brown Creek, where the road realy ends. Looking out over an inviting sandbank, briefly thinking of having a swim. Nah...better not. Those saltwatercrocodiles would love to have me for breakfast.
The area is discribed like this: "This is tropical North Australia as it is imagined by southerners. The park abounds in saltwater crocodiles, reptiles, spiders, cockatoos, wild pigs and buffalos. The foliage is a combination of mangroves, giant bamboos, pandanus and even Kapok trees".
We filled up with diesel at the local aboriginal community, and headed back to the caravan (61 L; $109,-). Tomorrow we will travel on to Litchfield national park.

Jan, bij ons op de afdeling zitten ook krokodillen en slangen, ik weet precies hoe je je voelt.
