Yellow Water

The Yellow Water boat tour is the highlight of Kakadu if you like wildlife, especially birds and crocodiles.

As documented below, a particular highlight was watching a crocodile feed. As I was following the croc, suddenly there was a giant fish in its mouth. We watched it stand on the shore and bite it slowly until dead, then swallow.

We took the 6:40 am sunrise cruise which has more wildlife. Fortunately, at this time of year, it didn't have mosquitos. At some times of the year they are reportedly beyond belief. We did get our share of these annoying flies that always try to fly at your eyes. The australian salute or a net dealt with them.
