Dag 8
Cooinda to Jabiru
17 maj 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 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.Läs mer

Dag 118
Ubirr/Nanguluwur/Burrungkuy
30 juni 2023, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Next was the incredible rock art sites of Ubirr , Nanguluwur and Burrungkuy in Kakadu’s eastern side. Some of Ubirr’s paintings are thought to be over 40,000 years old, and the more modern paintings depict contact with European settlers. They were shown with paintings of rifles and white men with boots and their hands in their pockets. At Burrungkuy, the sacred rock shelters for the Bininj people, there is even a painting of a sailing ship! With some paintings here thought to date back at least 20,000 years, most were in the most recent 2000 year period as modern paintings are often painted over older ones. These places show the x-ray style of painting that was characteristic of the top end of NT, which showed the internal organs of the animals they hunted and liked to eat. There were also paintings that depicted ancestral stories, often containing cultural knowledge about appropriate customs such as the proper time of year to eat certain foods and kinship laws.Läs mer

Maguk Waterfall, Kakadu
20 juni 2023, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
10 Klm drive in on corrugated road then a challenging walk through the bush. Over rocks and through water to reach the falls and water hole. No crocodiles here, apparently. Only safe swimming hole in Kakadu, but warnings still in place.Läs mer

Cahill's Crossing, Kakadu
18 juni 2023, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Cahill's Crossing is a river crossing on the East Alligator River. Can be very dangerous to attempt on high tide. No, we did not. Salt water crocodiles wait at the Crossing for mullet and barramundi as come down stream with the tide.Läs mer

Jabiru

We have arrived. The drive was very easy. Speed limit 130. The rental has very good pick up and sometimes when I looked at the speedo I was doing 158. Naughty girl, don't tell the police or Alexander.🤣Läs mer

Goodbye Jabiru
3 september 2022, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Packed and ready to move onto the next Hotel in Katherine. I think a 4WD is best here so you can explore some of the off-road areas.

We still enjoyed ourselves even had a little bit of a rest around the pool.Läs mer

Town Centre
2 september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Back near the Hotel and Town Centre was our next stop. Not that it is anything like a town. It looked more like a ghost town. A very weird IGA and a Post Office. Glad we did not need to purchase anything.Läs mer

Kakadu NP - Jabiru
17 september 2015, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Nach der Bootstour also auf nach Jabiru. Da soll es einen Pool geben und wir hoffen, dass die Wanderwege uns dort mehr ansprechen. Abgesehen von der super Bootstour sind wir bisher von dem Park nicht sonderlich begeistert. Vlt liegt es aber auch an der Jahreszeit.

Unterwegs noch einen Aussichtspunkt mitnehmen und einen Walk an einem Billabong bei Nourlangie "abgefahren" (es war einfach zu heiß).

Doch als wir in Jabiru ankommen wird unser Eindruck nicht besser: Es handelt sich um eine richtige Kleinstadt mitten im Nationalpark. Wir beschließen spontan, dass wir lieber, statt wie geplant die nächsten zwei Tage noch im Park zu verbringen, zurück zu den Edith Falls fahren, die wir zuvor ausgelassen hatten. Selbst wenn es dort auch heiss sein wird kann man dort immerhin in schöner Umgebung Schwimmen statt in einem künstlichen Pool. Außerdem hatten hier im Park viele davon geschwärmt. Also ab zurück durch die Weltstadt Pine Creek Richtung Edith Falls.Läs mer

James and his mum Elizabeth befriended us and wanted to make sure we felt welcomed in their country. James speaks 5 languages and his mum 4. I asked Elizabeth why James knows one more language and she said it’s because he learnt it from his Grandfather on the other side and loves talking too much. Makes you feel a bit dopey only knowing one...Läs mer
