day 9: Kakadu National Park

Well, definitely not the good season to go there: most waterfalls are closed (tracks are flooded), crocs everywhere so no swim… During the Wet season, most billabongs, rivers get connected so crocs can move more inland. During the Dry, billabongs get isolated and the rangers traps the Salties and move them downstream in order to open the waterfalls to the public.
There are 2 kinds of crocs:
-The Saltwater Croc (Saltie) is the mean and dangerous one that you find in river as well as in the sea (so no swim everywhere…)
-The Freshwater Croc is the shy and “ok to swim with”
