Our third and final tour in the Northern Territory was supposed to start at 6h40 this morning. However, Pierre's phone automatically updated the hour due to the daylight savings time change and therefore we got up even earlier. It turns out that eventhough the Northern Territory and South Australia are in the same time zone, Adelaide does change for DLS, but Darwin doesn't!! Crazy country! (btw, the time difference between Sydney and Darwin is half an hour! ever heard of that??) Anyway, once Adam (our new guide) picked us up, we drove to the Banyan Tree Camping (not exactly the same as the 5 star resorts that carry the same name...) and then to the Litchfield National Park, where we went to Florence Falls where we cooled off in the water. We saw a black footed rock wallaby and ate some green ants; they were very sour! From there we drove to Buley Rockhole where we swam again and jumped off some rocks and relaxed in the waterfalls. After lunch we drove to the Mary River, stopping at Corroborree Park for a break, where we went on a 2 hour cruise over the river. We saw lots of crocodiles, both saltwater ones and freshwater ones, and also saw lots of amazing birds, including eagles, ibis, geese, buzzards and spoonbills. There were also lots of wallabies around the river and we saw some nice waterlillies of which we even tasted the seeds. We saw a lot in a short time and really enjoyed this cruise. After that we drove over a 4WD path to the Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge, where we camped and had kangaroo and buffalo for dinner.
Weather: very very hot, sunny and an incredible amount of extremely annoying flies
