Not a lot to report today.
A very quiet and lazy morning lazing around the pool until we headed out mid afternoon for a fabulous sunset cruise on Yellow Water with Gagadju Adventure tours.
Yellow Water Billabong, Kakadu's most famous wetland, is located at the end of Jim Jim Creek, a tributary

of the South Alligator River. The river system, which is the largest in Kakadu, contains extensive wetlands that include river channels, floodplains and backwater swamps.
It was amazing. Abundant bird life, lots and lots of crocodiles, a spectacular sunset and endless photo opportunities. I took about two hundred photos and had to choose the best to put up here...
The guide (Murray) was great...very informative with a great sense of humour. He knew the best route to take and quickly passed the other two boats to give us the best vantage point for photos.
