We packed up around 9 ish and were off by 10 am heading a scenic way back to the stuart highway on on to Pine Creek for some cheapish fuel($168.9) and yet another bet one by daddy bear as to would this united fuel station be run by an Indian ?
We took the 70 odd km rd into Kakadu National park fee free as we were legally still Territorians ;).
Then the 37 km dusty corrugated rd into Gunlom Falls we we were set up by lunchtime with a quick feed of roast lamb and salad wraps .
Bathers donned and cameras at the ready we headed down to the plunge pool at the bottom of the falls where we submerged into the cold and clear water below .
Rock climbing and and jumping was taboo here so the boys and I climbed a water logged tree growing near the edge and jumped for simple amusement with the go pro for evidence .
Swimming to a nearby ledge we found a cute looking frog as yet unidentified .
A bit more water play and fish spotting ( barra , catfish , archerfish and long toms ) and we headed back to camp to do some household chores of clothes washing while the kids either read a book or made a fire stick .
The ranger made his call for camp fees as we hung out the washing and told us of a story time picture taking place tonight on the grassed day use area at 730 that we are just about to head to after we finish our lamb and veg curry .
Another great day although its school holidays here so serenity of solitude isn't on the agenda just yet !
