The bird life on this river was amazing, I tried to take photos of all of them .. some I missed ...they wouldn't sit still and pose for me :(
Australasian Darter
Comb - Crested Jacana
Spotted heaps of crocodiles...!!!
Daddy and baby Jacana
These birds are interesting, they live on the top of this weed their whole life, Mummy lays the egg then leaves....Daddy has to incubate and hatch the chicks then rears them all on his own...and try and protect them from the crocodiles eatting the babies
Daddy Jacana
Then the dam came into view, which means we have seen this dam from all angles now LOL but a truly awesome site from the boat...
We had a look around for our albino crocodile but he was nowhere to be seen... but plenty more were....
On the return back down the river, we spotted more birds....
Pied Cormorant
Male Darter
Nankeen Night Heron
Further down the river... Dylon our boat guide pulled over and gave us a talk on the river ... it was very informative..
We then travelled further down they river where we pulled over to the side of the bush and hidden behind the trees was a lovely place all set up for our afternoon tea..
After feeding our faces we then sailed passed these huge rock formations and nestled in the rocks were Rock Wallabies...All Rock Wallabies favour habitat with rocky outcrops and slopes, cliffs and gorges or are found on boulder piles and escarpments, especially in the wet-dry tropics. Their ability to scale precipitous rock faces in leaps that appear to defy gravity comes from adaptations to the feet and tail.
You have to be good to spot them as they are high up on the rock faces... but Dylon was good at that !!
And to finish off a lovely day we finished with a beautiful sunset ....
