My Mate Chris Suitor,
he's a big unit I'll tell you.



What a generous family the Suitors are. Susan and I met Chris and Jill at the end of the Darwin Airport back in 2007. We were waiting to see the jet fighters from the Australian and US land. After a bit of a chat Chris offered me a chance to fish in Kakadu if we ever got out to Jabiru where he is a Project engineer. Say no more, we packed the van a got out there as quickly as possible. Chris was as good as his word and we had a good day on the East Alligator, catching quite a few medium sized Barra. This shot is one of Chris at the Mine processing plant near Jabiru.


This is the ore crusher where the mined ore is reduced in size for further processing. Chris generously invited me to come up and stay with him in Jabiru so that I could do some fishing. He also arranged for me to fish with possibly the best Barra fisherman in Jabiru, Tony DeGroot. Who's the best fisherman in a town is always under some dispute but I add that many of the locals confirmed Tony's ability when they inquired as to who I was fishing with.





Sunsets are always a fascination. Here's a Territory sunset over the South Alligator flood plain. Too bad you weren't there with me.








As easter was approaching, Chris headed back to Darwin. He and Jill have a place in there so that Jill can follow her profession. From darwin we had a day trip down to the Daly River, another very well known fishing river. The evening before our arrival an Aboriginal man had been taken by a crocodile and they we searching for his body.


While this boat is not active in the seach, it gives an indication of the Daly river. We had a great day touring around with a picnic lunch. The Daly river is about 240 klms south of Darwin.
