Kazie Oz Pictures (Part VII)

A view of some of the bushland we hiked through to get to a lot of the rock art sites visited.

Some strange rock outcrops

More rocks--the one on the right looks like a two sided face.

The East Alligator River, the one we'd forded the day before, now we were cruising on

A good reason to observe the signs saying "Don't enter" and "no entry" which we saw on many of these beaches.

View along the river

One of our Aboriginal boat pilot/guides demonstrating some of their spearthrowers.

Some of the spears. They threw them into the water using woomeras (spear throwers, then retrieved them floating on the water from the boats as we left to return to the landing place.

Construction equipment crossing at the same ford we'd used the day before. The upturned vehicle was still in the water on the other side of the crossing.

A drive past the huge open cut uranium mine with piles of tailings in the background.

From Kazie:

The above are the last ones of the Northern Territory, still in Kakadu.
