We explored the Ord River that morning on a cruise. It was a luxury to be the only cruise boat along its length, so that we could all appreciate the river and the early morning reflections.

These scenes reminded me of those I saw in the Top End of the Northern Territory. Except at Kakadu we were sharing the lagoon with many cruise boats, while on the Ord we were practically the only ones on the river. On the way, the cruise guide pointed out the wildlife and told us about the history of the region. So pretty!
