Anbangbang Rock Art

Our last stop on the tour of Kakadu National PArk was at Anbangbang to see the rock Art. Most of it is very old but some of it has been touched up in the last 20-30 years to restore it to a viewable, useable state.

Birds!

On our Boat ride on the Yellow Water, we also saw lots of birds. Surprisingly for us Yanks, the crocs don't seem to be interested in eating them. This Great Egret is sunning himself with the Wandering Whistling Duck (related to the Plumed Whistling Ducks you've seen in the blog before).

Crocodiles!

We booked ourselves on a coach tour of Kakadu National Park. Everyone told us that this was a place to not miss and now we know why. After a stop at the culture center to learn about the indigenous people who lived (and still live) here, we headed for the highlight of the visit: the Yellow Water Billabong.

We were told that surveys of the river all the way to the ocean indicate that there is roughly a crocodile every 15-20 meters all the way. To give you a sense of this density, this post is only crocodiles. We may have traveled a total of mile or less on the water and here is a sample of the crocodiles, not nearly all, of what we saw.
