16/08/2007: "GULF COUNTRY ....... Borroloola - Northern Territory"

Our good mate Mr Northern Safari himself, Keith F Adams checks the timing of our safari vehicle.

We screened Keith our own marine safari film in the local hotel beer garden. Maybe the hotel paid us or maybe it was a free show.

All through the territory and into Cape York we'd slept in a small K-Mart tent oblivious to the hazard of attack by saltwater crocodiles. You can be lucky or unlucky. Best to sleep in your car and transfer the gear into the tent. Trouble is, a car gets very hot after traveling all day.

On more than one occasion I drove 1100km in a single day. Ridiculous. Australia is a big country.
