I forgot to date the last entry, that all happened on Dec. 1. Here is another picture from that day in the Daintree. Can you spot the crocodile?

2 days later we headed out on the Savannah Way, destination Darwin. On the way through the great dividing range we came across and injured crimson rosella on the road, a beautiful red parrot. His family was nearby. Kevin scooped it up in his t-shirt and we found an animal caretaker nearby. That was our first highway rescue. We didn't get to our campsite until after dark because of the rescue (and because of a wrong turn, my fault) and we saw many cane toads with our headlights. They hang out on the roads at night, perhaps to catch bugs that fly to your headlights. We couldn't help but pop a few as we drove. They actually made a noise.

The crocodile is very difficult to see..he blends in so well! We love the information you provide..what a great way to learn!
