    Darwin crocs

    April 24, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    I thought I'd missed my chance to see wild crocs because I hadn't made any plans and tomorrow is ANZAC Day with a big parade that starts at 6am (!) with an extra bus at 5:15.

    But I passed a 'croc tours today' sign so decided to go for it. Worked out really well ... a small trip through Wallaroo Tours to a guy, Pat, who's a real enthusiast. I wish I could post videos on here, their power and speed is stunning.

    The bus guide was great too, very informative. I hadn't realised how much this area (Australians call it the Top End) was bombed in WWII. There's still a big military presence, Australian and US.
    This is also a big mango growing area. One farm was passed apparently has 4 million trees ...
