You are transported to our private pontoon in air conditioned comfort
G'Day - I'm Harry - welcome aboard!
and I'm Morgan - G'Day. Come and join us on an unforgettable wildlife cruise
Our boats are comfortable, shady and guaranteed to get you close to the action
Small groups make for a great day out
The mighty Adelaide River
This goanna didn't see that crocodile approaching...
Why do we need to fly when we can swim so well?
Harry spots movement on the riverbank so it's over to take a closer look
Closer inspection reveals 8 baby crocodiles basking in the sun
Get any closer and I'll roll over so you can scratch my tummy
Nahhh - I've gone all shy
We continue our way upstream
Cute aren't I?
A pair of Black-necked Storks (Jabiru)
With a wingspan of up to 200 cm, getting close to a Jabaru in flight is a spectacular experience!
The beautiful Rainbow Bee-eater
and the not so beautiful Estuarine Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus)
The White-breasted Sea Eagle stands to about 1 metre with a wing span of about 2 metres
A large Goulds Sand Goanna
There's plenty of time for a spot of fishing
and plenty of time for a cuppa
The White-breasted Sea Eagle will come in close to the boat for a feed
A Jabiru and a Crocodile eye each other off but the croc is already occupied
Blue-winged Kookaburra
A barbeque lunch is served at our private bush camp
Harry is a mean chef!
Our bush camp is comfortable, well shaded and has plenty of fans to keep you cool
Aboriginal artifacts found in the area. These are spear heads
Mertens Water Monitor
A Mud Skipper
Mother and baby out for a stroll
Getting some fresh air
Harry has taken the boat right onto the river bank to witness the demise of this Goanna
The Olive Python has the Goanna firmly in its grip
Termite mounds - sensibly built above the floodline!
Jabiru on the river bank
and Jabiru in the trees!
Sacred Ibis and Egret
Fruit Bats (flying foxes)
The entrance to Goat Island
Goat Island - the only island on the Adelaide River
Goat Island has good facilities and a licensed bar
Casey's Bar
Stands of Bamboo, Livistonia Palm and Paper Bark along the river bank
Our boats are also able to navigate the many tributaries and waterways off the main river
Still plenty of time to cast a lure
Muddy? moi?
This Jabiru is certainly posing for the camera
Black Whip Snake
A pair of White-breasted Sea Eagles
Just hiding here in the grass
A flock of Brolgas on the floodplains
The Little Northern Kingfisher
Water Buffalo. Imported to Australia in the 19th Century an every increasing population in the '70s caused an environmental disaster to the wetlands of the Top End.
A 20 year eradication began in 1979 and now only small isolated populations remain in the wild.
