Well it was time to check out Kakadu - all the great pictures that come to mind, the wetlands, birds, rock art, plateaus. It was a lot of weaving in off the beaten track, as Kakadu is divided into 6 main landforms and each one is truly unique. The scenery is everchanging and once we reached the destinations they were spectacular. At Yellow River Billabong we saw a massive crocodile, beautiful lotus lillies, birds. It was very humbling to see the aboriginal rock art at Ubirr - simple pictures telling a story of their day to day life. We spotted the cutest rock wallaby. We climbed a plateau to reveal wetlands and greenery on one side and the sandstone escarpments to border Arnhem Land on the other. I was able to sit for a few "moments" and really appreciate the beauty of this country, so peaceful and unspoilt, until the boys wanted to check out how far they could get to the edge of the cliff before being yelled at!
