Up at 5 am this morning for a 6am pick up for a day tour to Kakadu national park, always a place I have wanted to visit. It is a big park and a long way from Darwin so it has been a long day. But the bus trip was easy and relaxed (although full to the brim) and the weather was excellent, so overall a good day. Arrived back about 8pm and then I met Gayle (a mutual friend) and also Harry's (another mutual friend) two daughters Mallory (and partner Dan), who live here in Darwin and Monica, who is coincidentally visiting. We had dinner at the Ski Club and it was very nice, outdoors with a starry sky and light breeze, very pleasant.
Here are the Pics
Kakadu
Lots of Rock Art
A bit of a story about above
A story about below
Moving on to the Yellow Waters Billabong, a backwater joining the South Alligator River, ironic really as there are no Alligators here, but plenty of Saltwater Crocs and did see one freshwater croc.
Lots of Bird life
Lots of Lotus Lillies
A few brumby horses

Will be extending at least a day here in Darwin, still trying to sort out next mode of transport south.
those brumbys will need to be careful about where they go for a drink - no where near 'logs' in the water...
