KAKADU (Gagudju) NATIONAL PARK Crocks & Aboriginal Art rock

Wurrgeng(Cool  dry season ) is nice to travel around Kakadu,

The early morning was  bit chilly so the the jacket was needed.

The daytime temperature is 32C and dry, means the intake of the water

is a must.

One third of a whole continent inhabits here in Kakadu, so many

exotic and pretty birds are spotted.

Yellow water cruise

Jumping crocodile

In muddy rivers hundreds of Crocs are hanging around.  At jumping Crocodile
 they feed  blocks of meat to make crocs jumped, personally I am not really into
this kinda thing.  Yellow water cruise takes 2 hours and our guide Ruben kept
talking about the nature, animals and the history of Aborigine ( himself an part Aborigine).  I didn't like some of his jokes but I liked the way to let people know
how the traditional land is import and how they have to protect their right.

Rainbow serpent 

Ubirr flood plain

Rock Art site at Ubirr shows some significant laws of Aborigines.

Art means teaching, a map, and ceremonial stuff, so artistic masterpiece is not necessary.

Sign of Spring

The temperature was 1C in Cowra N.S.W. over the weekends.
But forget about how cold in the morning, Ume blossoms started flowering
in Japanese Garden in Cowra, 318Km west of Sydney.

The garden was designed in the style of Edo period.(1603-1868)
Sakura maturi is the major event held in mid September and it is awesome to
see hundreds of Cherry blossoms in the garden.
