We have now flown to the North - or Top End - of Australia for four long site seeing days by coach. Once again distances are huge and the days are long. For the last two days we have been in the Kakadu National Park which is just coming out of the hot, wet system. It consists of wetlands and Savannah - lots of birds and lots of crocodiles. There is also a lot of Aboriginal culture and we went to see lots of rock art from hundreds of years ago and also went down one of the rivers with an aboriginal guide who demonstrated spear throwing as well as all the plants which they used. We rounded off the day with a visit to see a uranium mine - quite controversial as you can imagine!
