Kakadu-Jabiru

The return trip on the gravel road was a bit faster and had quick stop to re-inflate the tyres at a lookout and for some lunch, before heading on to Jabiru. Unfortunately Jim Jim Falls and Barramundi Falls both still closed after the wet season.

Good lookout over Kakadu

Caravan site at Jabiru was really nice with green grass and lots of space with a pool and restaurant/bar.
Decided to book in for a boat cruise from Cahill’s crossing for next morning so we had to get going early. Cahill’s crossing is the access into Arnhem land and is a floodway crossing over the tidal river. It is famous for crocodiles lining up on the crossing to catch fish on the turning tide.
The boat tour was done by an Aboriginal guy from Arnhem land and he showed us loads of crocodiles, demonstrated spears and instructed us in the uses of multiple plants and trees. We also had a short stop into Arnhem land. Overall a really good tour.

Lovely looking river

We then went to see if the crocodiles were at the crossing as the tide was turning, but none around. Did watch some cars crossing, but it looked quite deep and there was a strong tidal flow.


Afternoon chilling out and all went for a drink in the bar.
