Coming into Arnhem Land just after Cahill's, you think you're just entering heaven, there was a huge wet land with lillies in it and magnificent rock formations, we thought 'bloody hell, no wonder they don't want anyone in here' . But of course after a little while it reverted back to how it was pre Cahill's crossing, still great, but not as stunning.

Our, or maybe my most important destination was Garig Gunak Barlu NP. Not alot more south than the 'tip', but much less trampled. The full time Ranger is a local. Great guy, really super friendly, knew so much about the area, wish we could have stayed to speak with him some more.

Gee we struggled with the humidity, everyday at least 50% and mid 30s. Then one of us began getting constantly hammered by midgies. Them and the humidity and we had to retreat south. I would love to go back there one day.

The Ranger showed us where a 4M salt croc likes to take a break and swim in a fresh water hole near the campgrounds. Didn't see him at all, but when leaving early that morning, we saw he had visited the water hole that night, the slide marks are hard to miss.
