Day 111 - Shady Camp

Woke to the sound of cockatoos all around us. Alex survived the night. Nice sunrise shot. Cooked breaky. The boys went fishing while I cleaned the van again after the dusty road, forgot to turn on the dust suppression unit.

Went and checked on the boys. They had caught a few baby barra. Still heaps of crocs swimming around.

Drove to Point Stuart Coastal Reserve, which is another part of Mary River National Park. Map showed a caravan park....not. Would have struggled to fit the Van along the narrow road in parts. Road was graded with bitumen across the flood ways.

Got to the boat ramp and couldn't see the water across the mud flats. I'm so glad we didn't pack up and bring the Van.

Kept driving to the point and took a wrong turn, found a herd of Buffalo in a paddock. Alex put the Drone up and chased them around for awhile, he got some great shots. Disappointed we didn't bring the bang stick.

Had another fish at dusk but gave up to Croc watch, counted 43 sets of eyes. At one point, there were 10 big crocs crossing the Barrage, crazy site to witness.Read more
