Today was supposed to be pack up day… oops… we were having
too much fun we forgot to do a whole bunch of stuff like washing and shopping…
So we delayed our departure by a day and started the day with chores… But never
fear, we still had enough time in the afternoon to go exploring. We drove out of Darwin for about 40 minutes
to the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve.
This is our first taste of the wetlands of Kakadu… and we loved
them. We managed to find a whopping 12
new birds on our birdwatching list… The
favourites were a Rainbow Pitta and a pair of male Cicadabirds strutting their
stuff at each other…
Here’s a Comb-Crested Jacana… they have the most
incredibly over-sized feet I have ever seen…
Beautiful water lilies everywhere…
There may have been one or two Pied Herons…
From the dam we headed back into town via Howard Springs. Time for a quick look and a quick play on the playground…
This photo was taken about 2 seconds before his bum ended up dragging on the ground… they just don’t make the play equipment for 6 foot blokes…
