Day 1
We drove to Cooinda caravan park had a pizza with buffulo and crocodile on it … supposedly
then a swim in the pool.
At 4.30 we did the Yellow river cruise where we saw hundreds of bird varieties, buffalo and lots of crocs, lilies and water lands.
The little Jincarna birds and their babies walk on weeds and lilies and the sea eagles were plentiful. The Jabiru birds were sighted and even a kingfisher bird diving for insects in the water. And the Blogas dancing a special site. as was the kingfisher ad Eagles.
Day 2
Off to Jabiru for two nights.
We arent doing the plunge poils and walks scrambling over rocks … too hot and too hard for me.
Day 3
Our first stop was the Bowali visitors centre where we saw the cultural display and the onto Jabiru .
After lunch we went to Ubirr to see the indigenous art some dating back 2000 to 5000 years go. A two km walk that included the lookout over Arhmen land ….spectacular

Then on to Cahills crossing to see the crocs feeding at the tide change. Unfortunately even though we got the time right for the tide it was a low tide and the change didn’t occur over the wier so we missed out seeing this again as in 2019 we got the time wrong. Low tides for a week so we will have to be happy watching Andy and Daves video.
Day 4
Nourlangie rock art. Burrunggi pronouced Boo- rong -goy.
Some great indigeous art even though some obviously enhanced recently. We did the 1:5 km walk including the Gunwarrdehwarrde lookout.
Next stop the Anbangbang billabong for a look.
and back onto Jabiru
