Geoff rang this morning and said if we wanted to do a fishing trip he knew that Deano who operated out of Cooinda Lodge has two spare this afternoon. So we tried to ring the lodge while we drove there and no one was answering the phone. We found out why when we got there there was only one poor girl on the desk and the computers had gone down. There was only one seat on the tour available and none till Thursday, and they didn't know if there were any powered sites. So we waited and waited eventually there were no powered only unpowered at $30 a night we left and went to the National Park facilities at Mardugal $20 and you could use your generator.
We rang from there and booked Deano's tour for Thursday afternoon and Sunset cruise on Yellow Water today.
To fill in time we went to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, which was very interesting. While I was waiting to pay for our cruise there was a guy who looked like a guide trying tom get service but said he just couldn't wait and there would be a formal complaint going in. They are seriously under staffed, but they have a monopoly there so the management probably don't care the staff was trying to do their best.
Took the cruise, but unfortunately a tour group got on board before us and they took all the "window" seats, you had to wait till they sat down to see what the guide was talking about. A New Zealand couple on the cruise said they paid $40 for a powered site and had continuous stream of people walking past them just a foot from their van...not happy Jan.
