• Day 115 - Humpty Doo to Cooinda

    August 23, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 30 °C

    Spent last night at CMCA RV Park next to Humpty Doo Hotel for $18, which was only 20km from the hospital and had air-conditioned amenities.

    Off to BCF to restock the lures that the boys lost at Cahills and Shady Camp. Had to drive the 3 1/2 hours back to Jabiru. We were all tired after the late night. 😴

    Drove to Cooinda Caravan Park, tried to back into our site, which was supposed to be suitable for 18m Van ( think they are confused with feet and metres).

    Anyway, we were given a new site, got half settled, and had to run to the bus for the Yellow Water Sunset Cruise.

    The driver told us it was 42 degs, so it was quite warm. Jumped on the boat for our cruise up the Aligator River ( no Aligators in Oz). 3 boat loads of ppl ready to enjoy the next 2 hours.

    Lots of bird life, Crocs galore, horses, massive Communal Spider Web, and Buffalo. Heaps to see, our guide was really good, well informed.

    Beautiful sunset, then back to camp to finish setting up and watch the footy.
