Robin Falls. NT. (Week Off)

We work 14 days straight and then we get 7 days off. This is our first week off and Robin Falls and Adelaide River were our choices, for Easter weekend. The drive out of Bammurru was excellent, with wildlife everywhere.

Steve had to fix one of the airboats, he had to take it for a long test ride, myself & Karen took the opportunity to experience this buzz. A lot of pictures, its just so tricky to choose.

The airboat tour is amazing, its noisy, extremely smooth, the vastness we travelled and topography we saw was incredible. On our return there was 2 large salt water crocodiles waiting for us!!

Our drive in to Bammurru Plains, is very pretty. it's a minimum of 1.5 hours from the bitumen road.
Apparently all the roads in are closed?

A little history & information about Bammurru Plains.

Bammurru Wilderness lodge, used to be a hunting lodge with three cabins. Now we have 10 cabins and luxury safari tours, airboat tours, quad bike tours, fishing tours and river cruises. It reminds us both so much of Africa.
