Recommended Posts

well 18 months later we did it again.

 

 headed north to escape the shitty winter that seemed to go for ever this year.

figured I'd bump my old travel thread.

 at the wharf they had a restaurant that would fry up your fillets etc for a small fee so we ate the fish we caught.

took ourselves to Crocodylus park which is like a little zoo. 

The untold part is that it's attached to a crocodile farm. Leather and meat.

 Went down to the beach. looks beautiful but at end of dry season it's not advisable\

These are why it's not advisable - get a good sting from these you're fucking toast.

at least you can see these there are tiny ones called Irukanji that are about 1 inch long.

went to Darwin Museum.

 sweetheart the crocodile who used to hassle people fishing.

They tried to relocate him but accidentally drowned him in the process.
