From Broome we left in the morning driving to Fitzroy Crossing with the aim to take the 4 pm boat tour on the Fitzroy River in the Geikie Gorge National Park. On the way we saw again a lot of boab trees (a big one next to some termite hills can be seen on the photo). We also came across a big road train with a total of four wagons.
We were happy to take the small boat with around 12 people as their big boat was already filled up with two busses full of grannies. The tour took a hour and was really nice. The gorge has some interesting formations of limbstone and some intensive orange-brown colors. The guide shared a lot of information about the geology and history as well as some Aboriginal culture background.
We also passed by plenty of freshwater crocodiles which were lying on the shore. Some quickly vanished into the water when the boat came closer – they seem to be a bit more shy than their fellow saltwater brothers.
