Day Two of our camping trip: Canoeing through the first two of nine gorges in the stunning Katherine Gorge Park. Loved the view; hated our 'canoe' and its paddles. I guess it was a sort of kayak but both of us would have prefered a Canadian style canoe--we had trouble keeping the boat straight! (And yes, it was the boat, not us.)
Look at how sun smart we are with our broad brimmed hats and me with my long sleeves. We saw some sort of water-happy snake and a little freshwater crocodile--quite shy and not at all dangerous, unless you provoke it by getting too close. Another moment of excitement was provided by our guide Scott and fellow campmate Toshi when they tipped into the water, not once, but twice. Ended the day with a spectacular sunset as we entered Kakadu to set up camp.
Us swimming with the crocs and Damo navigating the canoe around the rocks and through the white water between the two gorges.
