All things I wanted to reserve in advance have been reserved; see below. I want to thank everyone whose advice has been so useful is helping me with the planning. I’ll post a trip report when I return.

(Now on to planning the Perth part of the trip, which should be much easier.)


Rental car: Budget

Lodging:
- Batchelor Butterfly Farm and Tropical Retreat (2 nights)
- Springvale Homestead, Katherine (1 night)
- Gagudju Lodge, Cooinda, Outback Double (1 night)
- Lakeview Park, Jabiru, Bush Bunglaow (2 nights)
- Travelodge Mirambeena Resort, Darwin (3 nights)

“Adventures”:
- Crocodile Night BBQ Dinner Adventure, in Katherine
- Katherine Gorge Breakfast Boat Cruise (first and second gorges; we hope also to rent a canoe afterward for about an hour, but hourly rentals cannot be reserved in advance)
- 6:45 am Yellow Water Billabong Cruise, Cooinda
(We may also do the Guluyambi Boat Trip on the East Alligator River and/or the Jumping Crocodile Cruise on the Adelaide River, but I’m not planning to book those in advance.)
