And so on to Darwin. We
stop in Jabiru at the bakery for an indulgence. Then on to Mamukala
for a last glimpse at Kakadu wetlands proper. An excellent bird hide
allows for great viewing of a variety of waterfowl. A large goanna
prowling the shoreline is an added bonus.
The heat is intense as we
stop at Bark Hut for lunch, fuel and a cool drink.
On to Humpty Doo
in 38 degree heat. The roadside is flanked by large mango
plantations. Unfortunately it is not Mango season.
Darwin at last and we
gratefully collapse at J & L's place. A shower (cold), a swim,
another shower a beer and we're almost feeling human. 5 days of R & R
await.
