Saturday 2nd August

We went to shady camp this morning to the lookout and boat ramp. At the boat ramp one side of the ramp has fresh water crocs and the other side has salt water crocs. When the tide is high they can cross over the ramp.

We saw many mullet fish trying to cross over to the other side while the tide was high. By the time we left the tide was low and you could walk across to the other side.

There was one crocodile there feeding off the fish. It was really good to watch the crocs in their own environment.

After we left there we went along another 4wd track to Point Stuart which is Finke Bay. We had to park the car and do a 5km return walk in the heat. We saw some buffalo along our walk. Once we got there the tide was out. You could not even see the water. It was all muddy and Jesse and Emily were finding lots of little crabs.

This is the ramp that the fish and crocs cross during high tide.
