Have to look at my watch, not only for the time but also the day of the week, everything runs together, and I have to get orientated.  Yesterday, Friday, went on an all day trip to the tropical rain forest, a native Australian reserve with a gorge and river running thru it, also had a brief explanation about their customs before the British arrived.  Wanted much more, but got a smattering, couple more chances though in Darwin and uluru.  Went for longer bus ride into the jungle, crossed a river in a boat ferry, walked a pretty beach where the jungle meets the great barrier reef, understand that it is the only place where two World Heritage Sites touch each other.  Warning signs about crocs... uck!   Had barbeque in the forest after a walk thru the jungle up and down stairs, over board walks, stoney paths... was good, fish, steak, sausage, and a huge diverse salad.  Surprised myself, I enjoyed a boat trip on a tidal river with crocs, the guide is an engineer who was made redundent ( laid off), and is keeping busy giving river tours.  He was emphatic that crocs only eat stupid people.  A lady was eaten two weeks before I got here by a croc while swimming in the river alone at 10pm at night.  His repeated emphasis on telling us that this is croc territory, and we have to be careful and use good judgement when in their homeland.  He pointed out the dominant male crocodile resting and getting warm on the bank of the river.  In winter (now) the water is too cold, so they have to warm up when the sun is out, they are mainly nocturnal hunters, when they become cold, and have to warm up on the banks in the daytime.  But it doesn't mean you can put your hand or arm in the river, the crocs have very acute senses, so you are asking for trouble if you do.  Saw a Juvenal croc swimming toward us a little later, and he submerged just before we got near him.  Also saw baby crocs hiding amount the mangrove tree roots, out of reach of bigger crocs.  The biggest threat to crocs is bigger crocs.  Most crocs are female (70%) and the sex is determined by the temp of the eggs while they are hatching.  Still don't like them, have a visceral fear of them, but after listening to the guide I understand them better.

the river and river banks in croc home lands, all the pics of the crocs ate on my camera not on the tablet...easier to zoom in on the camera.
