We stayed for 2 nights at the bush camp near Murdjuddil. It was very comfortable - sprung mattresses, stand-up tents which were mozzy-proof, flushing toilets, hot showers, and catering by Gerry. On the edge of a billabong inhabited by a croc (luckily we didn't meet him) we were able to enjoy an under-the-stars experience in relative comfort. I did make the mistake of having exposed ankles (see picture taken a week later) and received a number of bites which drove me mad.
The sky was packed with stars and the night hummed with life. We did a nightwalk but didn't spot the croc's eyes in the water. However, we did learn how to find spiders - if you have a headtorch, when you look to the ground it picks out the glow of their eyes like twinkling diamonds, can't wait to try this at home.
We clocked up 100 species on this trip, I'll save the list for another post.
