Neville, our aboriginal guide from Arnhem land.....a real character but very passionate about his heritage


a biggy

Arnhem Land on one side......


........and Kakadu on other side

this river is the border between Arnhem and Kakadu

lots of rock art along the river on the Arnhem side

preparing to let us off onto Arnhem Land, feeling special


Neville launching a spear with his Woomera, nearly got it across the river, he had three shots, we collected the 3 spears later as they floated down the river
another fantastic day........

and now off to the Aboriginal rock art sites and a climb up the rock to experience another sunset at Ubirr





this was a real rock climbing experience

we made it

good thing it was the end of the day....

only had to experience the sunset before heading DOWN,
it was a bit overcast but didn't spoil the mood


ready for the drive out of Kakadu Lodge and head for Darwin
