Cooinda and Yellow Water Cruise

We drove further up the highway to Cooinda and found a nice shady campsite, so decided to stay for a couple of days as there were things to see nearby.
Termite Hill
A saltie crocodile,they are also found in fresh water and can travel inland 25kms
We had seen lots of termite hill art but up here they are huge.Well over 2 meters,and really interesting shapes.
Sea Eagle
We booked a Yellow Water sunset cruise which takes you over the wetlands to see the wildlife. It was very worthwhile and we saw
Lotus waterlines which are everywhere, the Aboriginals use all of the plant for many uses.
all sorts of birds and of course salt water crocs,many!!! We were surprised to learn that they stay underwater for up to 1 1/2hrs.Sunset was very worthwhile too.
