Yellow Waters at Sunrise

Day 146

We are up very early for our sunrise cruise on Yellow Waters .The morning is spectacular except for a few vicious mozzies and we enjoy 2 hours cruising and seeing lots of crocs and birdlife. After a yummy brekkie( which was included with the cruise) Rose and Don have decided that they will head for home today so we pack up and say goodbye and Carole and Les and Al and I head for Gunlom Falls and a large campground which was packed with lots of local Darwin people here for the long weekend. After a swim in the lower pool we take a hike up the hill to the top of the gorge and are rewarded with a series of lovely rock pools where we enjoy a couple of hours cooling off in the heat of the afternoon.
