KAKADU NATIONAL PARK

 

World heritage Kakadu is nearly 20,000 square klms of wetlands, rivers, billabongs and rocky escarpments.  We first headed north to UBIRR.  UBIRR rock art was the most detailed pictures we have seen.  The lookout over the wetlands was beautiful.

At the border of Kakadu & Arnhem Land is Cahill’s Crossing over the East Alligator River.  When the tide turns, the crocodiles sit on the crossing and feed on fish.  It was amazing to watch.  Extremely muddy river full of crocs!

36 degrees everyday, it’s hot, humid & keeping up fluids is constant.  The mosquitos have been bearable.  We thought Yellow Waters was really nice.
