That same day we went out to the sites at Ubirr. There the rock art was more on the hunting and gathering, which would make sense as we were looking over the main Flood Plains of the area...this was also the northern most point that we got to in Kakadu. You can clearly see the art form of the Barramundi..in more recent art work the stick figures of the first whites in the area can be seen....some even show the rifle in the art....these walls though are used over and over agian, so you have layers of art on top of earlier art...going back many years..how many you ask...no body could answer that!
We walked up to the Lookout, talking of lookouts, this Jabiru was sitting on his rock surveying the scene..(Blow it up for detail).
One of the rangers gave a talk on the Flood Plains, the history of the local people and the management of the Park in this day and age...very interesting.
Then we watched the sun go down, I know you have seen them before...but this was another special..with this vast Country in all it's glory. This has been described as "The most beautiful sunset in the Universe."
