In the Northern Territory they teach the crocodiles to jump

One of the best trips/touristy things I did when in Darwin was going on a jumping crocodile cruise. They take you out on a boat on a river about an hour south of Darwin and then they dangle meat (from a pole) over the water and the crocodiles jump up from the water to get the chunks of meat.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone, it was a good day for me, I attended my Provisional Motorcycle Riders Test - there were 5 people in my test group - three passed and I was one of those three! Yay for me. The learners permit is valid for 2 years and learners have to wait 3 months from the learners course before attempting the test. Many people wait 18 months or more, for me it was just over 3 months, so I am feeling pretty proud of myself.
I also have a new heat source whilst waiting for my ducted gas heating to be repaired, I bought an ethanol fire, it is mostly good as supplementary heat, and more decorative, but tonight I am loving the beautiful open flames - just watching it makes me feel warmer.
Wow - cool shot.

@bobfoto yes Adelaide River - I loved it - did the trip twice while I was in Darwin for three months and wish I had done it a couple more times than that. Also did a fabulous trip at midnight to Shady Camp on the Mary River, watching the big crocs cross the barrage from fresh to salt water
