Awaking at a reasonable hour we rose to have brekky and Tony complaining that he went to bed too early as he was in bed when the Bat episode happened. Thomas convinced “Uncle Pete” to take him to the Billabong to see if they could see a Croc! 2 minutes later they came running back calling for a camera! Down we all went to see a 5.5 metre Croc sunning itself on the opposite bank with a waterbird slowly wandering into its path. We silently waited and mumbled to ourselves “Don’t go that way Mr Bird you’ll get eaten” after some time Pete tossed a rock into the water and we watched as our new found friend slipped quietly into the water and disappeared. By this time we decided that the waters edge was not a good place to stand and headed back to camp to finish packing up.
Heading into Jabiru to camp we set up our site, had a swim in the pool and a general relax. Thomas in the meantime had snuck over to Pete and Teresa’s and baked me a birthday cake for the night to come. BBQ for tea and birthday cake for sweets topped off the night with a few drinks before bed.
