0945 (7447 km) Left for the Jumping Crocodile Cruise.
1045 (7501 km) After some gravel roads with funny signs like "Rental vehicles welcome", "Don't rush, we can see your dust", we got to a run down shack and jetty. There were a few cruises to choose from - we decided to go with the small 30 people boat operator (not the double decker touristy boat), so that we could get real close to the crocs! We all got into this tin boat. Even before we left the jetty, the huge "Dominator" had come up to the boat. It was huge! And the tour operator got it to jump out of the water! We also saw the 3 legged huge "Brutus" as was in the newspaper. He also showed us some smaller female crocodiles. We also got to see a nest with eggs. It was amazing - all that in an hour!

We were so close, we could practically touch it!

1230 (7501 km) Left Adelaide River.
1300 (7522 km) Went to Window to the Wetlands. Had lunch of sandwiches and pasta. Amazing visitor centre in the middle of nowhere.
1545 (7559 km) Shopping.
1615 (7567 km) Caravan Park. Swimming. Wash cars. Dinner of honey chicken, rice, pea and ham soup.
