Day 119 - Maguk Falls to Daly River

All up early, cooler night, thank goodness. Saw quite a few horses and donkeys in the paddocks driving out of Kakadu.

Headed into Pine Creek, tried unsuccessfully to buy water and Coke... we did get fuel, which was $2.09, not too bad.

Found a lone Buffalo in the middle of the road, Alex wanted to shoot it 😂

We planned to stay at Surprise Falls, but the track in looked a bit dodgy, so drove an extra 37km into Daly River. They have a massive Barra comp annually, so there are quite a few fishing retreats.

We went into the 'Shopping Centre' to take a look around.....didn't stop as it was the local community, and it was obvious we weren't welcome. Checked out the caravan park next to the pub and kept going.

Ended up at Lee and Jenny's Bush Camp, which was lovely, right next to the beautiful river, grass sites, good amenities, and a pool (with no fence).

Quick set up and Alex an I drove to Surprise Falls, easy walk into a very big rock pool with small waterfall. We could hear ppl above in the next pool, so we climbed up to an even nicer pool. Thanks, Alex, for helping your wounded Mumma over all the rocks.

Chatted to a young couple who had won a contest on Trip in a Van - all expenses paid 6 day fishing trip. 3 days in Daly River and 3 days at Dundee Beach.

Alex did a couple of jumps from the Cliffs. On the way back, we encountered another Buffalo, which Alex tried to approach.....also saw a big dingo.

Late dinner, I had forgotten to get fish out of the freezer. Oops. Walked down to the river to watch the sunset.Read more
