    Cooinda to Jabiru

    May 17, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Caught our tour coaster this morning to the yellow river cruise jetty. We then spent a relaxing 2 hours being shown first the billabong, then the river, and finally the flood plain. We saw crocs in the wild and lots of birdlife. There was evidence of hoofed animals digging up the bank. We were told by our guide that all hoofed animals in Australia have been introduced and there 5 pests that roam free up here that mess up the National Parks. Our indigenous guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Well worth the money.
    We then dropped into the Warradjan Cultural Centre. Bought a couple of souvenirs. Unfortunately, one made in China and one made in India.
    Went to Nourlangi and saw some rock art.
    Went to Jabiru and booked our camp-site, left our chairs and table to claim our spot and drove to Ubirr Rock just before sundown with a picnic and took lots of photos of the sunset.
    After driving back, we went for a swim then ordered another barramundi dinner at the caravan park. Another great day.
