May 9 – Crocodile at Geikie Gorge

We saw our first crocodile today as we walked along the Fitzroy Rivers edge at the Geikie Gorge. He was sunning himself on a rock. Both Mike and I can cross “crocodiles” off our “to see” lists.

We must, however, remember to do walks earlier in the morning. By 10am it was in the mid-30s and damn hot!

The rest of the day was spent driving. We found a free camp spot for the night just before the turn off to the Bungle Bungles.

    You walked ALONG the edge of a river where crocodiles were!!! I think thats worse than swimming with sharks.

    They were only fresh water crocs, apparently they arent dangerous.

    That’s nothing – we went into a pitch black tunnel (Tunnel Creek) with them waist deep in water! Not that I knew that at the time (must listen to Marlene once in a while – she saw the sign).
