National Park
We head to the Mary River wetlands system, with the highest
concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the southern hemisphere.
As we arrive in Woolna Country you we be greeted by the traditional
owners of the land, the Limilngan - Wulna people. They will
share their cultures including bush tucker cooking, didgeridoo
playing, basket weaving and spear throwing. Get close (but
not too close!) to 'salties' and other wild creatures on a
private billabong cruise. We arrive at history rich
Ubirr in time for sunset. You will see vivid Aboriginal
Rock art that dates back over 20,000 years. Then we head to
our overnight bush camp in Kakadu. (LD)
