Foelsche River

Tim with our box at Wollogorang Station, notice the Ute or Truck to the right of
our bikes.

I am feeding a baby grey kangaroo, she was rescued from her mothers pouch who
was hit by a car. Ben also known as Dr. Doolittle (to me) rescues animals like
wallabies and kangaroo. He mentioned that a lot of female kangaroos have
babies in their pouches when they are killed on the street and we should look to
see if one is alive when we pass by. Let me tell you I can not pass
another dead kangaroo on the road without wondering if there is a baby inside.
so far we haven't found one, Tim says that's a good thing.

Fantastic lunch spot at near Burdulba Campground.


The wetlands near Oenpelli, the birds are Australian pelicans, the most I
have seen anywhere in Australia.
Aboriginal rock art
at Ubirr and Merl campground in Kakadu National Park
(August 2007)

Sandstone cliffs near our campsite. |

If you want to see the rock art at Ubirr and get good photos, go in the morning,
if you want to see a good sunset go in the late afternoon, the trade off is you
won't get very good photos of the rock art. |

Rock art under an overhang.

This ones a beauty, don't no what it is but I am sure it is deadly, we are in
Australia.

Rock art at Ubirr, the hunter.

Jumping spider. |

Sulfur crested cockatoo in a fruit bearing tree near our campsite in Merl
campground, this guy provided hours of entertainment, he was quite friendly.

Sunset Photo #2

This sign is everywhere and still people ignore it, not 50 meters from here we
saw a fisherman standing in the water fishing, I tell ya getting eaten by a croc
would not be a pleasant way to go. |

This is a fruit bat or dog with wings, these guys could be quite noisy and
smelly.
