crocs at jim jim falls

Wetlands in Kakadu National Park Birds over Kakadu wetlands (Crocodile snacks)
Look at this beautiful marsh area. Perfect spot for a croc, if you ask me, but that's where we ate lunch. We were on high croc alert that day. Note the signs at the start of each hiking trail that warn you of imminent danger.

We took a true 4WD out to Jim Jim Falls, none of that sissy pavement for us. Just red mud, sand and water on twisting track cutting through the trees. The falls had just recently been opened for the public but we could only go as far as the viewing area due to the danger of salties (or estuary crocs). So we had to content ourselves with a view from afar of these famous falls.Nico and Damo happily in front of Jim Jim Falls
