Kakadudledoo!

The end of May was enjoyed in Darwin in the Northern Territory, bumping along in our campervan. Our very hot, unairconditioned campervan. But still a great time! Our first stop was the Jumping Crock Cruise on the Adelaide River...



It was pretty neat to see them bob out of the water for some tasty chops. They use their tails to propel themselves up. An unusual part of the cruise, and apparently something that they never see, was a croc attacking a pig that was making its way across the river. Not a smart pig. The croc carried him by his neck for about a half a km then little piggy escaped! Everyone on the boat was cheering the piggy on, "Go piggy! Swim piggy!". It was an interesting start to the day.


We took a few days to check out Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks. They have some lovely waterfalls that have pools you can hang out in. We chose to beat the heat at Florence Falls for part of the day…

People (and by people I mean drunk Aussie boys) were diving off of the high waterfall. They were about as smart as our piggy friend.

As usual, I enjoyed your new blog entries. That is amazing that Steven caught you in mid air. You can really jump. Take care of each other and don't stay in anymore stinky motels. Love, Mom
