Port Essington Anchorage. May 18, 19, 20. (Black Point) (Google maps -11.149, 132.1405)










Our first anchorage in the Northern Territory. The beach was beautiful – there was a full moon and the sea turtles were coming ashore to lay eggs, and other species were hatching. A large crocodile, nicknamed “Stumpy” because he is missing part of his front foot, glided away as we walked back to our dinghy. Lots of red rock.
