Kakadu Part 1

We arrived at Kakadu National Park around lunchtime and checked in at a resort in Cooinda. It was very hot, about 32 degrees, so we spent the afternoon in the very nice pool.
We got up at 6 the next morning to go on the Yellow Waters sunrise boat trip. It was absolutely beautiful watching the sun rise over the billabong. The water was perfectly still and all we could hear were the birds, predominantly the whistling ducks. And Charlie whining occasionally. The bird life was amazing, so much to see and the tour guides were fantastic at pointing everything out and making sure we had ample photo opportunities. For all the bird watchers out there we saw egrets, kingfishers, whistling ducks, whistling kites, brown falcons, cormorants, ibis, sea eagles, jabirus, magpie geese, brolgas, jacanas and a few others I have forgotten. But of course the one thing we were looking for was crocodiles and once the sun was up we saw plenty of them. The whole trip was really enjoyable and it really felt like such an untouched place. I am having trouble uploading photos so will try again later.
