Day 117 - Cooinda

Another beautiful NT day, there is something about the blue sky here that is special.

We had to move camps as our site was booked for the next few days by another van. It was just at the back of the previous one, much bigger, easy move.

Alex headed to Jim Jim Falls (plunge pool) in the car, I couldn't do the 2 km walk or swim, so I stayed at the site. Wayne had a rest day in the a/c.

I strolled around the park and checked out the pool, which was amazing. A couple of eating places were closed, not sure why.

Alex got back early afternoon and showed us the footage of his morning. What a beautiful place, water was crystal clear, and cliffs were about 150m high. The falls only flow in the wet season, and the road isn't accessible so it was the perfect time to go there. Luckily, I didn't attempt to go as there were some pretty big boulders to climb to reach the pool, and I would have ripped my stitches out for sure.

Very hot afternoon, the boys drove down to the pontoon next to where we went on the river cruise yesterday to have a fish. No keepers but had fun catching small barra.

Alex and I went to the Barra Bar & Bistro for dinner and had croc burgers, which were really good. Took one back to the van for Wayne.Read more
