18/8/2013 to 19/8/2013 Jabiru in Kakadu National Park

18/8/2013 Nourlangie in Kakadu National Park

Today Gerd insisted that we pack up and shift on to Jabiru township. He'd had enough of fighting off the mosquitoes and stinging insects that inhabit the area around Ubirr. We took a unpowered site in the campground because I wanted to see if the caravan solar and battery system would stretch another night.
After setting up we drove to Anbangbang Billabong. While we ate our picnic lunch we looked at all the white water flowers covering the billabong and the thousands of water and wading birds flocking around. We walked/drove the length of the billabong. It is one of the prettiest areas in Kakadu.





Next we walked around the rock art sites and then up the hill to the lookout.




On the top of the lookout we met the grown-up-and-married son (and wife  and 2 children) of Andrew and Anna McLaine  who used to attend Wodonga church. It's a small world! 




Next we drove across to the other side of Anbangbang Billabong and walked to Nawurlandja lookout and its surrounding fascinating rock structures which obviously were once the bed of a stream but are now exposed natural concrete on the top of a hill.
