Day 52




Because we are fully self-contained we never use the facilities at a caravan park or camp ground. But as we didn't fill with water at Jabiru, we used the showers at Mardugal and they were excellent cleaned everyday and I must admit it was lovely to have a nice long shower not having to worry about the water.

Just remembered must tell you about the helicopters at Jabiru. There are three, the tourist one which is the one we went on. The bugger on is hired out on contract mainly by Telstra to keep the phone services going . And the third one is used by the National Parks at this time of the year to drop incendiary devises to light fires. They call it a cool burn it doesn't last long and doesn't hurt the animals or the ant hills, just keeps the undergrowth down so that in about October when there is a lot of lighting and that starts 'wild fires' there isn't much fuel.

The pics are of the wonderful pool at Kakadu Ladge and the one of Gerald is on a walk to the billabong at Mardugal
