Highlights:
- Cool water swim
- Sunset overlooking the gorge
- Canoeing up the second gorge
- Spotting a freshwater crocodile
Not-so-high-lights:
- Bed hair and ridiculous selfies (me, not Gav - I think he is a spunk!)
- Large crowds and noisy boats on tour down the gorge
- Overnight canoe trips being booked out
- Being part of the dusty towing line up at the camp ground
Nitmiluk is a beautiful and sacred place. This beauty is a bit compromised by the touristy set up here. If we had been able to get away on an overnight canoe then I'm sure we would've had a different experience but we were glad to at least canoe the second gorge - it was stunning and much more peaceful.
Gav was hoping to spot a Freshie and had just about given up when I glanced back over my shoulder to see quite a big one sunning itself on the rocks. Sadly, it looked like it had some fishing line coming out of its mouth and something attached to it's foot too...I hope it was ok.
