We joined the other 150 people doing the sunrise tour. 4 boats of about 40 people each. Our minds were boggling when you think each person is charged $180.

Despite the number of people, each boat took its own path and the trip was serene. Cruising the different waterways of Yellow Water Billabong and South Alligator River was incredible.

Our boat guy was Travis and he was a local Bininj man. We were shown crocodiles, wild pigs and horses, golden tree snakes, kingfishers, whistler ducks, egrets, white-bellied sea eagles and a jabiru. He had an incredible knowledge and it was a brilliant introduction to the Kakadu wetlands.

The rest of the day was a lazy day. Wayne, Mark and I went for a drive to Jim Jim billabong and Miray Lookout.

We returned to camp and joined Donna for a swim at the pool – even I got in.

A quick lunch of pizza, chips and a couple of beverages.

A kip, name-the-place game invented my Donna followed by dinner and the first half of the women’s State of Origin!

Once again… early night. It’s hard work being on holidays!

Answer: Emerald. Wayne initially said Longreach but was corrected by Mark – The Emerald Express
