Yellow Waters Billabong Cruise

We are visiting Kakadu during the wet season. There is lots of water here now, it is green everywhere. Lily pads, floating grass, bamboo stands, palms and ferns abound. We are told that during the dry season it is brown, dry, hot and dusty. That doesn’t seem possible now.
We are on a crocodile proof boat that takes us from creek to billabong to the ironically named South Alligator River. There are no gators here, only crocs, but that is another story. On the cruise we see birds, flowers, wild rice, some fish jumping and eventually a crocodile. It is a small one, only about a meter and a half long, but everyone wanted to see a crocodile so that is nice.Lue lisää
