Kakadu
Tammy writes:
We are off to Kakadu National Park. This is so exciting! And yet, it is making me feel a little apprehensive. Kakadu is home to 10,000 crocodiles – a tenth of all the crocs in the Northern Territory (Yipes!)
Anybody ready for a dip? The beautiful, natural pools and cascading falls are major part of the experience of the Northern Territory.

Gunlom Falls
We are starting this part of our adventure with a hike to the top of the Gunlom Falls. We can’t let a few crocs stop us from taking a much-needed, refreshing dip into the cool infinity pool at the top. Look at that view!
