Day 12 - Blogabond

This morning we first visited another rock art site, Ubirr Rock, and again met up with Nick's group for lunch and a quick swim at the Four Seasons hotel. Then it was a "yellow waters" cruise for crocodile spotting, which was successful. Joyce, Paul, Angela and I were then loaded onto a tiny airplane and flew over the Arnemland escarpment, including Jim Jim falls, and landed in Eva Valley in Arnemland.

Needless to say, the "airport" was merely a landing strip. There we were met by Brad and Ron, two "old salts" who were to be our guides for the next three days. Brad is the younger of the two, apparently a Vietnam Vet. Ron is an ex-Buffalo hunter. In Arnemland, life is much cooler and far, far fewer mosquitoes. A trip to a nearby hill for the sunset, dinner and bed.

(Notes: wild horses, Buffalo, donkeys).
