Day 41: Jabiru

Leaving the van in Jabiru whilst we do do some day tripping around the area. First stop was Arnbangbang billabong and Norlangie Rocks. When we arrived at Arnbangbang Felicity realise she had left her shoes back at camp, so we gave Bridget's thongs to Felicity and basically carried Bridget around for the day.

The Billabong was only half full due to it being the end of the dry season, however it still looked a treat in front of Norlangie Rocks.

At the base of Norlangie rocks we saw some more stunning Aboriginal art work dating back as far as 20,000 years. The kids were especially impressed with paintings of 'Namarrgon the lightning man'.

For lunch we went to Cooindee where there was a caravan Park and a pool we could have a dip in. Just ariund the corner was Yellow Waters wetlands where we sat about 8 Barramundi just cruising in a small pool between the reeds.

Before returning to camp we went to the far side of town where the Ranger Uraium mine is. It's quite odd to find something like this in the middle of kakadu.

Besides the dingoes roaming camp the last interesting thing for the night was 2 talkative barking owls which were happy to respond to you if you made a 'woof woof' sound (learnt that at the Territory Park).
