Day 30 Darwin to Jabiru

Today we drove to Jabiru in Kakadu National Park which is 20,000 sq km in size (about half the size of Switerland). We got a message before we left that we were getting a refund on the park pass we purchased, it is dry season by the month of the year, however this year there has been so much rain that it is considered to be wet season. Therefore the pass is half the price, so it will be very interesting to see the difference since we last visited some 20 years ago in dry season. We checked with the Bowali Visitors Centre when we arrived and it would appear that all the places we wish to go to will be open, one of them only opening yesterday so we are very fortunate.

On the way here we passed many many mango farms.








We are staying at Aurora Kakadu Lodge and there are many tour companies staying here in the camp grounds in various types of tents, I think I like the comfort of our cabin.




A brilliant collaborative artwork that serves as an educational and cultural narrative, beautifully illustrating Australia’s diverse biomes, native wildlife, and the relationship between people and the land.
Rather than utilizing traditional Aboriginal rock art or ochre x-ray styles, this piece uses a highly detailed, accessible folk-art illustrative style to map out different distinct ecological zones.
