Kakadu

After Katherine we drove to Kakadu National Park where we stayed in Cooinda Lodge. Kakadu is an incredible place with endless wetlands, loads of ancient rock art and amazing geology. On our first morning we did a sunrise cruise up the yellow water billabong. This had by far the most varied bird life of anywhere we've been, plus a lot of crocodiles! Well worth getting up for. We then drove to Cahills crossing and the Ubir rock art. Cahills is somewhere I've wanted to go for a long time and it didn't disappoint! There were more than 30 crocodiles in a 100m stretch of river all feeding on huge baramundi. An amazing thing to watch, especially when vehicles drove across.
The rock art at Ubir was the really impressive and had an awesome view across the wetlands.
We then camped by the river which was nice but a lot of mosquitos!Leggi altro
