It was 33 kms to the north of us so we went for a drive for coffee. There was a boat cruise with spots available so we bought tickets. $30 for an hour ride upriver and then a second one was available on the same ticket fifteen minutes drive away, how could we miss.
The first one goes on the fresh water part of the river and we saw a big salty, about 40 year old Barrett. The boat was able to get up quite close to him.
There were different birds and butterflies as well.
On the second trip which went into the saltwater of the river, we saw three other crocs, one female sunbaking, one swimming and a young junior about ten years old.
We drove past several of these as well, small railway carriages carrying sugar cane. The tracks are not very wide and criss cross a lot of roads up here.
Instead of coffee, we opted for tropical fruit smoothies, yum! Just as well as lunch wasn't until 3pm back in Pt Douglas
