Default Pics from the "Top End" of Oz

Hi All,

I just got back from a couple weeks up the Top End and thought I'd share a few pics with you all

Darwin waterfront:

Darwin Waterfront

Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park:

Katherine Gorge

We were at the Gorge in the middle of the day so I was really struggling with the hard shadows. Managed a couple decent shots, but a bit of cloud cover would have helped.

After the Gorge I spotted this little guy:

Sparrow

And a little friend I made on the way:

Baby Crocodylus porosus (Australian salt water Crocodile)

To be continued...

They are all excellent.
Looks like you had a great trip.
Are you running a Turbo Daniels in that vehicle?

Beautiful set of Photos! Well composed and presented! My favorites are the Finch? and the reptile, I get confused with alligators Crocks etc. But that's a great picture. Look like you were right next to him.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael

Thanks all

I was having a bit of trouble with all the landscapes as there was not a cloud in the sky so plenty of harsh shadows.

Chewys Dad - I'm no Bill Oddie, but I think that's a sparrow? The reptile is a baby salt water crocodile. Easy to tell the difference between a croc and a 'gator - Crocs a bloody huge!!! Saw one over 6 metres in the wild! The photo of the baby was taken through glass at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin

There's some more pics in my Flickr stream, I'll try to scrounge up a couple more that are worth posting.

Cheers
