Kakadu is absolutely beautiful...

Right now I'm simply amazed by the scenery here in the Northern Territory. We drove to the Kakadu National Park and spent two nights there.
The first night we camped at the Merl campground - where we were attacked by droves and droves of mosquitoes. I was covered in DEET repellent and the bastards were still landing on my nose. I really hate the mosquitoes here. With a passion. They are worse than any other mosquitoes that I have EVER met.
The next day we were up with the sun, preparing coffee in our little van, then off to the Ubirr rock art site. We were fortunate enough to make it to a couple of ranger talks at the different sites, so we learned about the aboriginal kinship systems and the paintings and some of their meanings.
In the afternoon we headed to see more rock art at Nourlangie. Again, we listened to the rangers talks - which were really great, and the best way of appreciating what you are looking at! We also took a walk around the Anbangbang Billabong. We saw so many birds - really beautiful birds - (photos to follow)......
This morning we got up early (6am - that's very early for me) and took a boat ride down the South Alligator River. First thing in the morning is the best time to see the wildlife. We saw CROCODILES. I was so excited. Real crocodiles, in the wild. Yikes! (more photos to follow)
We also saw a couple of live wallabies hopping around the park, and plenty of dead wallabies by the side of the road. The roadkill here is big and there's plenty of it!
