Darwin or bust

Up early for our Adrenaline adventure replacement for the race experience at Eastern Creek, Matt Wright's Outback Adventure. We walked 2 blocks to be picked up in a coaster for an hour and a half trip out to a location near Dundee Beach. We firstly had a ride in an airboat powered by a thundering v8 diesel. We powered through the small billabong channels to get to a pontoon that had a croc swimming enclosure on it. (not used) We then spent 40 minutes in the airboat going around the waterways looking for crocodiles. We saw a few and also were shown a crocodile's nest and saw eggs that were in the process of hatching. Took off before mum turned up. After transferring back to the dock, and enjoying a hearty egg and bacon burger, hopped aboard a boat to take us for a leisurely cruise down the river. I fished for about 20 minutes from the back, flicking the lure into the banks but had no luck.
When we got back, we watched the guide feed the rescue crocs. They often get calls to come and collect rouge crocs that are attacking livestock or ones that venture into someone's back yard that got a bit lost. They have a show running on Chanel 9.
We then had a nice swim in their pool and waited our turn for a ten-minute helicopter ride.
Eventually, after more swimming, we returned home. Checked out a brewpub and got ready for our sunset harbour cruise.
Another big day, this time finished off by watching the end of the Parramatta v Manly game.Read more
