We left Kakadu (Jabiru) this morning and drove the 164 km to our next destination which was the caravan park attached to the Corroboree Tavern on the Arnhem Highway. Once there we took it easy relaxing by reading until we were to be collected for a cruise on Corroboree Billabong at 4.30 p.m. The time arrived and we were collected by a lady named Chrissy in a minibus who then drove use the 18km of made road and 10 km of unmade road to get to the jetty at the billabong. Without ado we set out on the Sunset Wetlands Cruise which proved to be a wonderful experience. The sheer abundance of birdlife made it worthwhile on it's own - we saw night herons, whistling ducks, darters, jabirus, white bellied sea eagles jacanas and many more as well as many, mostly saltwater, crocodiles and one freshwater croc. After witnessing sunset at the billabong we returned to the tavern where we scoffed some fish and chips sourced from the tavern rather than cook dinner ourselves.
