It was with a bit of sadness that we left Kakadu NP early on Wednesday morning as it was a most enjoyable visit and the Kakadu Lodge was very pleasant, especially having a grassed site. Our destination was the Douglas Daly Tourist Park so we could visit the Douglas Hot Springs. We arrived early afternoon and headed up river with fishing rods and set a trap for cherubin as the barra were only biting on live bait. The crocs have been active so no swimming in the thermal pond there. Pedro & Max checked the pots and had 4 by morning so they set off at dawn but came back empty handed. It was now time to head for the Douglas Hot Springs....there is a boiling pool there with quick sand and further on the creek is fed by a very hot spring. Even though there was not a lot of depth the water was like a very warm bath and you had to find just the right spot. Once again it was very refreshing but alas we forgot the camera. Kangaroos visited late in the afternoon and one was an albino. The girls had a night off cooking and we dined at the park restaurant.
