Sunset Cruise

We've been off grid for a few days enjoying the scenery and culture in Arnhem Land.  

Now at Seven Spirit Bay we are having a relaxing morning before exploring this afternoon.

Following are a few snaps from our recent sunset cruise from Davidson's Arnhem Land Safaris at Mt. Borradaile.

The party bus delivered us to the swamp/waterhole/billabong

Salut, what's a cruise without bubbly?

Goodbye sun

Hello Moon

Serene Swamp

Our camp is on the banks of the Arafura Swamp. This morning we took a cruise through the wetlands. The scenery was stunning and the bird life abundant.

Although the waters seemed tranquil from our boat, when we saw a water buffalo bathing and some crocodiles basking around the shores, we realised that it was far from a serene swamp.
