Trip to Kakadu, Gunlom and some lookouts

5th of July 2014 to 8th of July 2014

Claire and I had secured permits to go to Jarranbarnmi for the weekend, unfortunately a rogue crocodile had forced the Kakadu staff to cancel all permits. We decided to head to Gunlom again, we love it. Did the drive down old Jim Jim Road, was great fun. Got there Saturday arvo and spent it in the lower pool. Spent all of Sunday in the upper pools, GT and Ailsa joined us. Saw a large snake in one of the water pools, that provided a bit of amusement.

Got the fire going on Sunday night, far out the wood burnt quickly. Headed back on Monday and stopped by Gungural and Bukbukluk, Claire didn’t like the walk at Gungural. Liked Bukbukluk a lot better. The trip back was fine, a large tree had fallen across old Jim Jim road, managed to get around by going through the scrub. Okay for Suzi but would have hated to have been towing something.
