The Rest Of Kakadu

We headed off from Gunlom and proceeded to all the walks and attractions around the Kakadu loop. We were headed for Jabiru and the sights there. The park is pretty cool into Jabiru as there are many sights to see and walking to do. We stopped a couple of times on the way up there and based ourselves in one spot as we did all the walks and sight seeing in the area.

We went for a drive off the main road to a place called Sandy Billabong and saw our first croc in the wild there as we approached a river. The billabongs are nice spots with most having board walks around them to view the wildlife.



We made it to Jabiru and stocked up on food and fuel and headed off to Ubir that is on the border of Arnhem Land. Ubir was fantastic with heaps to see, we stayed in a camp ground called Merls and travelled without the van to the nearby sights. There is a walk up to a lookout over the wetlands that was fantastic, this is the location of all the photos you see in the media of Kakadu and the scene in Crocodile Dundee where he is sitting on top of a mountain looking over the scenery.






The was aboriginal rock art to see here as well. If you are coming up this way Ubir is a must.

Back down towards our camp there is a barage, or causeway (They call them barages up here) called Cahills Crossing that separates Arnhem Land and Kakadu on the East Alligator River. The tides through here are fantastic to watch as the river drains away and as the tide comes in reverses the flow over the causeway. We grabbed the rods and fished for barra, there were a couple of guys over the other side of the river hauling in 1 meter fish. No luck for me.
