Day 110 - Dundee to Shady Camp

On the road early, off to Palmerston to top up everything before going to Shady Camp, north of Kakadu for a couple of days. Chasing Barra and Crocs.

Had to run around Palmerston to find water to fill the Van. Apparently, when you are in an unpowered site at Dundee, it doesn't allow for water.

144km from Palmerston to Shady Camp, 26km of pretty good dirt road. It is Mary River National Park, so we purchased permits, etc, before leaving town.

Heaps of available camps, most with shade, thousands of Corellas squawking in the trees. Found a nice spot, which was short walk to the barrage.

Walked to the Barrage, which divides the fresh and salt water, saw lots of tiny wallabies jumping through the bush.

As soon as we reached the water, we saw Crocs sitting in the water. On the opposite bank, 2 big crocs and a couple of smaller ones.

Went back to the creek after dinner...omg the Crocs were everywhere. I counted 48 sets of eyes so you can guarantee there would be heaps more.

A little concerned about Alex sleeping in a Swag on the ground outside. 🐊Read more
