Picture inundation...Part 3

Here I am at the base of the rock, imagining I am in the nastiest barrell of all, back hand........and standing up!!!!


Sunset on Mindil Beach..........We like Darwin already and We've only been here for a few hours








This rock art painting depicts the lightning-man, which dreamtime explains is responsible for the thunder and light shows during the monsoon season for the Kakadu clans of aboriginies. He has a specific part of the Arnhem escarpment in which he lives.......nobody is allowed to go there for fear of waking him early......the stone axes (look carefully) on his elbow and knees are what makes all the noise.





The Arnhem escarpment which separates Kakadu with Arnhem Land (other side). On the other side (Arnhem side), the escarpment gently slopes off, but regardless it is not in the least bit hospitable.





Emma floating in Katherine gorge after a long paddle and portage of the canoe to the start of the third gorge. Pretty spot with beautiful clear water.











Ahhhhhh.....the rock top taunts me again.....the matchbox cars are actually real cars and tour buses.........this was taken at the top of the chain which is about half way to the top of the rock.
