Day 19 – Last day at Cooinda

Report by Tom Masters

The day started at 6.00am getting ready to go on a cruise at Yellow Waters, about 2kms from the Cooinda campground. The cruise lasted two hours from 6.45am until 8.45am, a great way to see the early morning wildlife like crocodiles, sea eagles, pelicans, whistling ducks, dingos and the many other birds at that time of the day, too many to list here.

After the cruise, four of us went to the Border Store which is on the border of Arnhem Land and Kakadu. We got some photos of the causeway which is the border between Kakadu and Arnhem Land, don’t cross it without a travel permit.

We then finished the day’s touring by looking at the rock paintings at both Obiri and Nourlangie Rocks. Kakadu is a very interesting place and I would like to go back one day. Any of you that haven’t been there yet, go, you will enjoy yourself.
