up the creek and back out to the car, then a detour to a waterfall for a swim. nice to have an easier day and not have to carry so much water!
drive out got a bit hectic when we learnt that there were no seats on tomorrow's flight for James, but he could get on this afternoon. got him to the airport 10mins before take off.

from the lower koolendong down to the fitzmaurice and back up the creek that we started on. cool watching the salties hunting in the tidal mixing zone around the rock bars in the fitzmaurice.
legs and feet starting to come good - the last couple of days were very tough.

day trip over to kimmel gorge... home of the rainbow serpent and crocodile dundee. saw several big salties on the river bank - very safe distance, and some really cool rock art. amazing place.

sightseeing detour up to the top of the cliffs on the valley rim, then down the valley for the rest of the day, the last few hours of which were bashing through tall thick grass. Pete decided a controlled burn was in order given that the next two days were going to be through the grass, so we lit it up. probably burnt out ~20km2 over the next few days.

over a range of hills into the koolendong valley. found an amazing gorge and had a very close encounter with a freshwater crocodile.
the last half of the day involved carrying an extra 10L of water each as we didn't know whether there would be water in the valley. pretty tough going.
