Day 39: Corroboree Tavern

Thanks for the recent comments. The kids are always excited to see who has been online. Just one thing - if you don't have a registered google account, etc then the comment will just come up as 'anonymous'. It's nice if we know who the comments are from, so if you remember put your name at the bottom.

Now next day....

Arived at Corroboree Tavern which is on the road towards Kakadu last night after stocking up on supplies in Coolalinga again. In the morning we headed out on a wetlands cruise on Corroboree Billabong, that was very informative. Saw a couple of crocs, apparently there's a 6.4m one in there. I've seen a 4.9m croc up close and it was massive - I struggle to comprehend a 6.4m.












We also saw a heap of birdlife. There was a pair of Jabiru with two young, magpie geese, whistling ducks, sea eagles, cormorants, egrets and many more. For the kids - does anyone know what sort of bird a Jabiru is? Australia only has one type of this bird.
