The northern approach to the Victoria River crossing is overlooked by this beautiful escarpment bluff. This is typical of the escarpment on both sides of the Victoria river. You drive through about 20 kilometres of this scenery while you make your way down river towards Timber creek.
We stayed for two days at the Victoria River crossing. I fished while at times and we both walked the escarpment at Joe's Creek. A photo of Susan decending a slope underneath the escarpment follows. Note the substantial overhang in the rocks above her. Susan is always keen to do the gorge walks or escarpment walks. The colour of this country is amazing. The changing shades of red and orange during the course of the day are spectacular. The fishing was good too, I nailed a couple of small Barra's.
We did the Victoria river cruise at Sunset. Three and a half hours for $70 each. Included nibblies at sunset. We travelled about 40 klms down river in a fast punt, stopping to view various wildlife species. The croc below didn't seem to be bothered by the boat. He sat at about 6 metres from the side of the boat while we photographed him. He's about 9 foot, or 2.7 metres. We sawseveral laying in wait for the kangaroos , who come down to the river in the evening. They ambush them form the shallow water.
