Jabiru August 23

Jabiru is really the only town in the Kakadu NP. We drove in after seeing the rock art as we needed to stock up the fridge on food. We arrived at the supermarket at 1.02pm only to fine it closed at 1pm on a Sunday. We really wanted to travel further out towards Arnham Land but needed the supplies as there is nothing available there so our only option was to stay the night.
There are no cheap campsites here, so it was to a very nice Caravan Park, we have a power site with an ensuite and it is the first time we have been hooked up to power since leaving Brisbane over a month ago. It does mean we can re charge everything and full up all our water tanks and also drinking water tanks.
The best thing is the wonderful swimming pool!!!!! It was 38 deg here and that pool was so so good.Funny enough we thought the water would be warm but much to our surprise it was very refreshing and cool.I can even look forward to blow drying my hair which is a rear novelty now since the dryer doesn't work on the inverter. We even did some laundry and then washed the really dirty caravan and car. We certainly have made good use of the facilities.
What luxury no warning signs about those crocs!


You know how I said Lloyd was coping better with the flies. Well here he is putting air into the tyres after being on the dirt roads. He loves his new veil, it works a treat !
