The next day it was off on a 2 hour cruise of Katherine Gorge - very beautiful and only one crocodile so happy days...its amazing what mother nature can produce....
It was absolutely stunning and there are lots more photos on my FB page...
After we had done this we jumped on the bus as we were heading up to Kakadu that night so after some more time on the bus we were able to stop off at Edith Falls.
Being at the end of the wet season (which from what I can gather has been rather long this year!) we weren't able to go to the normal swimming pool so we went for a bit of a hike to go to a plunge pool which didn't have croc's in it...and boy after that walk did you need a swim....was super hot and when we got there I was in that water super quick...
There was a current from the waterfall that took you on this nature made water slide which was great fun, although I did learn that doing front crawl in a strapless bikini is not the best plan! So after exposing myself slightly (luckily underwater)I decided to jump out and watch the adrenalin junkies from the tour do some climbing/jumping action by the falls...
It was then time to head back to the bus....needed a quick shower after the walk - was blooming hot by that point and then onwards to Kakadu National Park where some of the tour went on a sunset scenic flight which I decided against - not that great in big planes so little planes are a definite no no! The rest of us had a quick trip to see a Uranium mine in the area then it was back on the bus for all and on to our hotel in Kakadu for a yummy dinner of fish and chips and then a bit a chill by the pool - only a little one as there were lots of mosquitos which seemed to like me so I headed back to the room.
