KAKADU

We arrived in Kakadu on Tuesday and it's all that I had imagined it would be. We have been on a few walks and lost litres of sweat! It's very hot. The first night we stayed at a campground to save some money, but it was so hot in the van with 5 bodies that it was difficult to sleep. The next night we moved in to a caravan park in Jabiru - a big pool and power so we can run the air con all night. Much easier to handle!

Bardedjilidji translates as "where you walk" or walking track.

The heat is obviously getting to me - I put all these photos in the wrong order. The last photo shows a little head which popped up out of the dashboard in front of me as we were driving into Kakadu. Darren had told me that a lizard jumped out of his golf bag as he was packing it into the car. He left the doors open in the hope it would find its own way out. It didn't! It crawled out and was trying to get out through the windscreen. We pulled over and ushered it out the door, safe and well.
