Kimberley Cruise Day 5 11 July 2012

Prince Regent River and King Cascade.

We traveled by Xplorer up the Prince Regent River to King Cascade.  This is a spectacular place with a large waterfall.  Remember that this is the dry season.  It also has a resident crocodile known as Snappy to the crew.  He put in an appearance as we were leaving the falls.



Time for some fun in the Zodiac.


Snappy!!


Snappy having a look at us.  Crocs are very territorial.




How the other half live... in WA anyway!

Tragically a few years ago an American girl (Ginger something) was sun baking on one of the ledges of the Cascade.  As the tide came in (big tides here) she panicked and jumped into the water to get to the boat.  But Snappy was quicker!
