Just before we went to sleep last night we heard what may have been the crocodile in the river, so I had an average nights sleep as every time I woke I lay there listening to see if I could hear any movement in the water. Then I got the song “Never Smile at a Crocodile” in my head and could not turn off.

Well today we woke to another beautiful day down by the Pentecost River, forecast temperature 35°C. This has been pretty consistent for the last 40-50 days. I was pretty tired as I hadn’t slept too well.

David wasn’t feeling that great today, maybe all that driving and concentration has worn him out, so we are just going for a little walk. We hiked to Mt Baldy Lookout which has an mazing viewpoint for the Cockburn Ranges. We then did the Bindoola Gorge Trail. After that we headed back to the Station as it was extremely hot. We had lunch at Dusty’s Bar and Grill, Grilled Barramundi Burger and Chips, which was very nice, then headed outside for a swim in the Resort Pool. Then believe it or not a rest and relax by the pool for a couple of hours. Woohoo!!

We then headed back down to the river to hopefully see a crocodile (Unfortunately, not to be) and to watch the sunset as the light makes an amazing reflection on the Cockburn Ranges.

It was a well earned rest day. Ready for the last stage of the Gibb River Road.
