Hi all,
Here are some pics from a recent camping trip Sim and I went on with a few mates. We headed to a place called Ganami or Wonga Creek about an hour and a half to the South of Nhulunbuy. Ganami runs into Port Bradshaw, a beautiful spot on the coast. As such it is well known for crocs.. next time we head out this way we will head to Gapuru (Memorial) which is further upstream and therefore apparently has less chance of crocs. While Sim and I have had a few dips, we remain ever vigilant at checking and rechecking, only swimming in shallow, crystal clear waters where an approaching predator can be easily spotted. The locals are far more relaxed and comparatively we are highly cautious, we get the feeling they think we are over cautious.

Our camp site at Wonga Creek was an awesome spot to sleep under the stars in the (sandfly proof) swag for the first time. Unfortunately we had to put up the tarp as dark clouds threatened rain..

Creekside close enough to the campsite. Sim and I saw our first croc in the wild here, a metre long baby saltwater. We kept our eyes well and truly peeled but thankfully we didn't see his mum anywhere!
Great little spot a top a cliff edge over looking Wonga Creek downstream from the campsite. Attempted some fishing here but lost interest quickly after no immediate success...

This mud bath was a bit of fun on the way in, about 20 metres into it the car started to lose power and slow down, but thankfully we hit some more solid ground and the car pulled us steadily out. I am slowly growing in confidence at just how well this 3.5 tonne beast performs in all terrains.

Coming out the other side unscathed, thank goodness!

Em's first river crossing!

Was fun maneouvering up this little incline. Almost lost the left wheel into the ditch....

This was a tight squeeze between the trees on the other side (many of which were scarred with the markings of numerous bullbars before us) and the ditch.
