Darwin Monday 18th July

While the car is being serviced, we head for Crocosaurus Cove which claims to be "the ultimate urban wildlife experience & home to the Cage of Death". Crocs, fish, snakes, lizards, and turtles everywhere you looked. The kids once again jumped at the chance to handle snakes and lizards when the opportunity arose. We watched the fish being fed and liked the archerfish spitting for their food. The croc handlers fed the big crocs and then the kids and Nick went 'fishing' for some of the juvenile crocs while Marie took our photos.



We saw one of the pythons feast on a mouse and got to hold a baby croc. There was lots of information and it was a great educational experience for us all.


While we were having lunch we were able to check our emails and were lucky to receive one from a friend who had spent some time in Darwin and had some suggestions regarding trips to do while we were here. As a result we finished lunch and were able to book a cruise at Corroboree Billabong for the next day.
