Billabong, a part of the Mary River system. You are bound to see plenty of bird
life and usually a lot of crocodiles on a 1.0 hour cruise that won't leave you
disappointed. Next you can view various
displays about Kakadu at the Bowali Visitor Centre before heading north to Ubirr
Rock. The concentration of Aboriginal art at Ubirr is magnificent and is recognised
as one of the most famous rock art and cultural sites in the world. At Ubirr Rock
you will see some fantastic Aboriginal Art sites and learn about the Aboriginal
lifestyle and culture. A short climb to the top of Ubirr Rock will reward you
with a 360 degree view over floodplains and the Arnhem Land Escarpment - a spectacular
sight. Another cultural experience
awaits you next at Nourlangie Rock with rock art depicting mainly wildlife and
Dreamtime stories and some paintings, possibly dating back over 20,000 years.
A short drive takes us to Anbangbang Billabong where you can enjoy viewing many
varieties of water birds on a floodplain with Nourlangie Rock an impressive backdrop.
Next we take a short hike up Nawurlandja Lookout where you obtain breathtaking

as breathtaking.
Keep a look out for local wildlife as we 4WD through
creeks and sand on our way to the mighty Jim Jim Falls. A swim in the plunge pool
at the base of Jim Jim Falls is sure to wake you up for the day as you cool down
in the refreshing water. To reach the plunge pool, a 1km scenic walk through monsoon
rainforest is taken and has excellent lookouts over the falls. Take your time
