We woke up both fresh (gasp) - Bushy Dave (post 'hair of the dog') was not feeling so good. Adelaide River has a WWII cemetry, that we walked down to have a look at.

Despite this I did enjoy swimming under the falls and checking out the golden orb spiders. Liz did not go in - happy to read the extensive does and donts that Austra...
