Kakadu's scenery is also spectacular as these photos show. One is of Noarlangie rock, which is a defensible site high above the flood-plain and contains caves sheltering aborigines from summer storms. Its walls contain a vast array of art-works dating back thousands of years (see next post). And the view from the top of the rock is excellent, whether of the Arnhem escarpment to the south (pictured) or of the wetlands stretching northward towards the Arafura Sea (also pictured).
The remaining two pictures show part of the immense wetlands associated with the South Alligator River (discovered by someone who couldn't tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile).
