Ubirr Region (Northeast corner of Kakadu)

Thursday, we decided to visit the Jabiru and East Alligator Region of Kakadu.  Jabiru is the main township in Kakadu but it is very small, with one bakery, supermarket, a school, a hairdresser. 

We did get to see a Jabiru ... A black necked stork. Beautiful colors.

A 2.5 km bush walk at Bardedjilidji (Bar-de-jill-eyed-gee) had us looking at layered sandstone and walking a small path through the bush. 

At Ubirr Aboriginal Art Site, we walked among the various painted Rock Art that is thousands of years old.  

We had a 3 o'clock reservation on the Guluyambi East River Cruise. This was a cruise up the East Alligator River to see crocodiles. Why is it called Alligator river if you only see crocs?  When the first explorer found the region, he thought they were alligators, so the name stuck.  However, the Aboriginals call it the Guluyambi River.  

We saw a sea eagle while on our cruise, plus our Aboriginal guide took us to his people' slander and showed us how they spear fish.
