After leaving the car park where I saw this Grevillea pteridifolia, very attractive orange bottle-brush like flowers
we climbed to the top of the escarpment and had a good view of the Kakadu Wetlands.
Note my lack of proper foot wear in this shot.
Once again, I was stupidly not wearing the correct footwear for the conditions and I took a dramatic tumble down the last few metres of the climb, with camera and lenses making a noise on the rocks, people screaming (not me as I knew I had done the wrong thing!!) I was lucky to get away with bruised toes, scrapped knees, wrist and feeling foolish! Even a pretty European backpacker offered first aid.
Also interesting to see this Magela Creek crossing. When I visited with Pauline and Karen earlier this year in March (see March Archive) it was flooded and closed to all traffic.
