Day 30 Kakadu 17/6/12

Today we had a short drive to Kakadu. We left Darwin early and it was very foggy when we went through the swamp areas. On the way we stopped at The Bark Hut. There we saw a buffalo and two emus (not wild). There was also an old bashed up land rover that was used to catch buffalos. This was a very dangerous job. We also saw an old rusty land cruiser where a buffalo’s horn went through the door and into the passenger’s leg. When we got to Jabiru where we were staying we went for a walk on a bush track to the Bowali Visiter Center. There we had a look through the displays with things like wild life in them. Then we came home. We had a BBQ for Dinner.

  1. Wow, what a feast of photos and info!! We learnt a lot from your aboriginal guides. It’s so very interesting. Isn’t the Yellow water cruise wonderful and your photos show what monster crocs you saw. Karen, keep up the bird photography! I love the call of a pigeon you hear all over the Top End but don’t know its name without looking up the birdbook which I can’t find.
    Hope you enjoy Gunlom if you go. Part of Croc Dundee was filmed there (the scary croc scene!). We really love Edith Falls too just out of Katherine.

    We’ll be sorry when you leave N T as we love hearing all about it but know there’s plenty of other exciting things ahead elsewhere. lol
