Awake for breakfast this morning before joining an iconic Yellow
Waters Cruise. A must do activity within Kakadu National Park, the
award winning Yellow Waters cruise is Aboriginal owned and centres
around a spectacular billabong system that is home to some remarkable
and diverse wildlife. Spotting crocodiles is only one of the many
wildlife viewing opportunities on this unique water system. Departing
camp we travel to nearby Nourlangie Rock. Here you can see how local
Aboriginal people lived in this area through changing times. Environmental
and social changes are reflected in the rock art and in the ground,
where archaeologists have uncovered over 20,000 years of Aboriginal
occupation.
After lunch visit the Bowali Visitor Centre, a Gun-djeihmi name
for the local area and creek on land owned by the Mirarr clan. See
the audio-visual presentations and Marrawuddi Gallery showcasing
Aboriginal art by artists from within Kakadu and the wider region.

art site, Ubirr, located within the East Alligator region of the
park. Here you will view a wide range of ancient Aboriginal art
which will be interpreted by your guide. Learn the story of the
Rainbow Serpent and climb the Nadab Lookout for panoramic views
over the floodplain and beyond into Arnhem Land. After learning
about the area, its time to pick out a quiet spot to sit while
we watch the sun set over the Kakadu escarpment before making the
short journey to our private and permanent campsite for the night.
