KAKADU NATIONAL PARK

UBIRR sacred site in KAKADU

This area was under water just 6 weeks ago, the flood plains are a huge source of food with enormous amounts of fish for the Aboriginal clan that lived in this area they called Gagudju.

This remnant of escarpment look like ruins of monuments, no wonder the aborigines felt no need for temples!

The East Alligator river runs alongside this escarpment sandy walk, it is usually 5 metres deeper during the wet!

Its not surprising that more rock paintings are within this cave shelter

David took this photo of the rainbow bea-eater, they delight us by flying so close and not being shy!

I’ve no idea what this butterfly is called, but it has fabulous colours doesn’t it?
