Yellow Water Billabong- Kakadu Beauty

We started at dawn on the cruise. A splash of red clouds lit up the mists swirling above the still waters. The sun rose from pink to red to orange to intense yellow as we cruised to see the crocs, the pelicans, white bellied sea eagles, and jabirus. Maxxie, a very large male Saltie cast an eye over us. He had just been in the news when pictures appeared of him crunching down on the head and brain of a younger croc that entered his territory. For a week or so Maxxie had chewed his way through his neighbour's body.
