During my flyabout around Australia's coast I landed at Oenpelli in Arnhem Land.
It lies inland from the north coast of the Northern Territory and was a Church of England mission for about 45 years.
To reach it, the route was over the East Alligator River. No alligators but probably lots of crocodiles.
A wonderful place for birdwatching but it is on Aboriginal land and a permit is required. I flew in with a MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) pilot so that's how I was able to stay there overnight before heading for Darwin.
