The 4 wheel drive vehicle picked us up at the hotel at 7:30am for our day in Arnhem Land. This area is one of Australia's most remote and least traversed regions. We had to cross the East Aligator River first and that was very exciting considering we were driving through the river in our vehicle!! It is Aboriginal land and permission from the Manilakarr people had to be granted before heading into this area. Our guide shared bush skills of hunting and gathering, took us to burial sites and showed us ancient Aboriginal rock art. Our day was interesting and laid back. We spent time at billabongs, climbed more rocks and had a great day. Much of the area we visited could not be photographed but here are a few of our sites.
We ended our day at Windows on the Wetlands Visitor Center with wine and cheese enjoying the sunset. What a view!
