Kakadu National Park

Very early start this morning, loaded on the bus with our precious belongings for a three hour bus ride which took 6 hours because we stopped to sight see. Our tour bus could be named the wallaby thumper because of all the wallabies that keep thumping off the side of it. Wallabies are miniature kangaroos that seem to be all along our journey. A couple of times as the bus went by, the startled wallaby would jump in the wrong direction and hit the side of the bus with a thump. Maybe they did it on purpose in an act of defiance. Stick it to the man wallaby style.

After a picnic lunch we went to Nourlangie Rock, an ancient Aboriginal living shelter. The nature walk ended at the Nourlangie Rock with our guide/driver telling us the stories about the ancient art on the rock.

Next we stopped into the Warredjan Aboriginal Cultural Center. It was an interesting walk thru but no photos allowed and of course lots of time at the gift shop!Read more
