After our busy day with the crocodile cruise and Aborigional art we camped at the Jim Jim camp site. We arrived in the dark but it didn't matter as there were already tents there for us. The only worrying thing about that was that they are there all the time so could have had any wild animal or worse, insect living in them. We all cooked our dinner of kangaroo and veg on a camp fire. Simon particularly enjoyed this although he wont be swapping his kitchen for a c...

Most of them have crocs in so you cant swim. It is so hot there that swimming is all you want to do!! On our tour there were eight of us in a four wheel drive. We set off firstly to a jumping crocodile cruise on the Adelaide River. Before we got on the boat for the cru...

Our first stop was a walk throgh a rainforest. We then went to a dormant volcano. It was quite a climb but amazing when we got to the top. Very peaceful and the views were fantastic. The whole area is flat apart from the huge volcano. That evening we stayed in the nice...
