This morning we went to Katherine Gorge which is a big river near Katherine. At Katherine Gorge we went for a bushwalk and saw some amazing views of the river. At the gorge we also saw a lot of BATS (which mum really hates). There were a lot of bats hanging in the trees.We also went to the Katherine Museum and saw a film about the 1998 floods which destroyed a lot of the town. When we got back to the camper Adam and I rode around on our bikes and had a swim. That night at 6.30 we went to the Springvale Homestead and went Croc-spottingOn the way we saw a couple of little crocodiles in the water with our torches. Then when we arrived at our dinner camp we saw a little croc called Apprentice we knew his name because the tour guide sees this croc a lot and gave him a name. Apprentice is about 1.2metres long and was about 18 years old. A couple of minutes later after we saw apprentice a 3 metre crocodile turned up called Mouse, they call him mouse because he is very quiet. After we had met Apprentice & Mouse the crocs we had steak & sausages for dinner and some billy tea prepared by our guide Neal. When we finished tea me and Adam were each given some pieces of meat and we both fed the crocodiles. We got very close (1 metre) away from the freshwater crocs. We also saw a bunch of turtles and catfish, they were swimming next to the crocs trying to get food but mouse & apprentice didn't really take any notice.
