El Questro boat ride
On our first morning at El Questro, we hired a couple of boats to cruise up the Chamberlain gorge. Actually, we hired the little electric motors and a couple of car batteries - the boats were just waiting at the river. We divided into a guy's boat and a girl's boat, and headed upstream. the morning was beautiful - still, cool, sunny. The reflections off the water were amazing.
It wasn't until after we'd paid for the boats that we found out about the 4 meter saltwater crocodile that had taken up residence in the gorge. Apparently, that one was a replacement for a 6 meter croc that had been there earlier in the dry. We looked, but never saw either of these, which was a good thing - both would have been bigger than our boats, and those tiny little motors would never have outrun a big croc.
