This morning we took our adopted Grandmother Marilyn and went to Geikie Gorge National Park,
arriving in time for the first cruise of the morning at 8am. While we were waiting for the cruise to begin we were given a lecture on toilet etiquette. We were told to make sure we close the toilet lid after use to ensure frogs don't get in. Then we were shown why. A massive 3m olive python had been found in a toilet bowl, obviously lying in wait for an unsuspecting frog!! Imagine finding that in your cistern!! We then walked down to the waters edge where we were to board the boat. Having children paid off for the first time on this trip as we were given the front seats! As it was early it was very pleasant cruising, looking at the fabulous surroundings of Geikie Gorge, which is about to be renamed Darngoo in honour of its original inhabitants. The cruise went for an hour and we saw some stunning eroding cliff faces and a few fresh water crocs.
We went back to the caravan park, said goodbye to Marilyn and Andy, had a quick swim in the resort pool, and set off. We had a quick look around Fitzroy Crossing, before making our way toward Kununurra. We stopped for the night at Mary's Pool on Mary River, a very popular free stay.
As we were setting up camp we saw a few people with towels over their shoulders heading toward the water. The sign said their were crocs in the water, so surely these people wouldn't be swimming in the water. Troy went to investigate, and came back all wet. Yes sure enough, everyone had gone for a swim. There was a great little water hole that a few of the regulars had told Troy was croc free, so in we went. The water was very refreshing!
We then had dinner under the stars! Great night!
