[status] We had some local kids as tour guides yesterday in the village. We hiked to a small lake, and then went for a dinghy ride up the river. It was beautiful, and the water was very cool given it was a river. We did not swim in the river as there are crocs. The local kids would not swim in the water either...so that was a definite sign to be careful. Evidently there is a large croc that lives up the river according to the locals. Fun fun. We had some nice rain last night that put some water in the tanks. All is well, and we are still the only boat here. Most boats have gone different directions as the cyclone season is ending and people are moving. All good.
