Corroboree Billabong Tuesday 19/7/11

We enjoyed a fantastic 3 hour lunch time cruise of Corroboree Billabong which is part of the Mary River. Apparently this area has the largest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the world and we weren't disappointed. We got use our new found  knowledge of crocs (from yesterday).

  

We also saw & learnt about many species of bird including Ibis, Jabiru, Jacana, Egrets, Herons, Kites, Magpie Geese and the White Bellied Sea Eagle. We saw the enormous nests of the Jabir and Eagle.

Our informative guide gave us insight into traditional indigenous uses of the local flora and fauna. We even saw a water buffalo having a midday snooze under a tree. After the cruise we headed back to the road and ended up at the Corroboree Tavern and Caravan Park where we set up camp.
