Summary:
Daz our tour guide for the day did an excellent job all day from the prepared lunch to informative commentary throughout the day with his one liner jokes for those who got them.
The swimming at the Florence Falls, Bluey Rockhole and Wangi Falls was excellent.
Our Jumping Croc Cruise which was included was fantastic. Dillon our captain and guide did a great job of sourcing out crocodiles for our close up viewing. His depth of knowledge gave us a great insight into the world of a crocodile.
Well done to both Daz and Dillon for a memorable day out.
