A short ride to our next
camp site. Muirella Park – which we will use as a base for a day
trip to Nourlangie Rock.
After dropping our camping
gear we head on to Nourlangie. This is a rock outcrop that features
some stunning rock art. A short 1.5 km walk takes you through
various rock shelters and art sites to a lookout with glimpses across
the plains to the distant escarpment and the so called 'Stone
Country'.
Although only mid-morning
by the time we get there, the heat is already building. Fortunately
the walk is through some shade trees and aroubd shaded rock shelters.
At last we are starting to get a taste of the real Kakadu.
We return to Muirella camp
site and sit out the heat of the day in what ever shade we can find.
Tomorrow we'll head for
Merl camp site (via Jibaru), the East Alligator River and the famous
Ubirr rock art site.
