An Australian
Darter
A lovely and
serene billabong that is submerged many feet underwater during the yearly
wet season.
We enjoyed
a very beautiful but short-span sunset scenery before setting up camp at
the Cooinda Caravan Park
The morning
ranger guided walk was most educational. Jeanette and Elizabeth showed
us how alive the land was - lilies, termites, sea eagles, whistling kites,
Australian Darters, wild boars, the culture of the natives, the seasons,
etc. It also happened to be the very last tour for this dry season!
Merl
Campsite (2 Oct)
Merl was a simple
and bare campsite, and mosquitoes were aplenty.
But we enjoyed
a ranger slideshow held in the open the night before
Ubirr
Rock Arts (3 Oct)
The ancient
rock art sites at Ubirr are truly fascinating. We joined the ranger guided
talk and learn much about this aborignal art form.

Jumping Crocs @ Adelaid
River
It was
quite an unforgetable experience seeing crocodiles jumping high out of
the water to gobble up meat in the air, with us staring just a few metres
away.
