We're missing the crocodiles

So far we have seen and interacted with many of the typical australian animals: we cuddled a koala, hand fed kangaroos, helped little turtles to reach the sea, saw little penguins, swam with sea turtles in the reef.... the only we haven't seen are the crocodiles despite all the warning signals in the north and the couple of walks we did. But who does want to swim with a salty?!

Waiting for the turtles

Today we drove from rainbow beach to Bundaberg (210 km). Our aim here: see the turtles hatching and laying eggs. It's a matter of time and patience, they said. We can be waiting until 1 in the morning if nothing happens before. It works as following: they assigned you to a group (We're in group 2), rangers patrol the beach for turtle activities, as soon as  something happens the first group is taken to the beach. On the next event, the following group is taken to the beach and so on. Yesterday the first group went at 20 to the beach, group 2 around 22. In between you can watch documentaries or listen to ranger talks... we'll see
