the scenery is very beautiful

well the self-timer works (3rd time lucky!)

We look really cool, but it's around 40C and the sweat is running into our eyes (mixed with fly repellent ..ouch!)

those crocs are around again.

Laurie radios for the boat to come collect us

he's not fallen in yet

our transport arrives to take us out of the gorge

a salt water crocodile trap, baited with pig.

Disaster! Probably at least two days from any rescue our trusty vehicle refuses to start.  Will the water hold out? 
After some very worrying minutes we manage to bypass the electronics that have got themselves confused and the engine fires.  Phew!!! that was a VERY welcome sound.

that road again

Laurie seems to be enjoying himself..

fires are started deliberately to burn off the grass which chokes out most other plants if left.

this website gets updated, helped by a nice glass of Chardonnay
