As the sun slowly descends behind the mountains and horizon, the lilies close. Another business day complete, some closing for the last time, some just waiting to get started on a brand new day tomorrow. Water Lilies are complete day dwellers opening in the morning and closing before dusk. They generally don’t like the cold, so they tend to thrive up in the tropical climates and inland in the top end. Tortoises’, Magpie Geese, fish and other creatures tend to live off them. A crocodile will lurk below and hide under them, remember Crocodile Dundee when croc came out of the watering hole? So I guess you can never be too careful about walking around the lakes. It has been known at the end of the wet season a croc has appeared here, so if you pay a visit just be on the lookout, you never know what might be lurking beyond the lilies.
