There is a whole field of these rocks that appeer to be totally out of place... there is flat-flat dessert all around and then these..... :) the devils marbles!
Sheldon takes the lead! Paddle faster- so much to see!! 
The 1st gorge in the morning sun.
We got out for a hike to the falss within the 2nd gorge.
The falls- barely there- but nice scenery!
A break at the 3rd gorge.
The 4th- we were so glad we went through the park by water- such an amazing view from below! 
You must pull faster if wer're to make it! 
The cliff from below. Cool. 
See how close they got! She likes carrots! Yumm.. There is 5 of them in the darkness there!
Don't tell the ranger..... Shhhhh.
Mum with baby! How Cuuu-uute! :) I HAD to give her something too..... she's with child for gosh sakes! 
a large croc trap that has been set with a dead ferral pig as bait! 
Danger! 
Pretty swans that come to the tablelands to have babies! 
He is happy- he got a fish! yummmm.... he better watch out for that croc though or he will be next in the foodchain! 
Of course he dreams of killing it... but hey- it WAS cool to see a wild one! 
A turtle- of course Meggans Fav.!
A barrimundi- of course Sheldons fav.!
We really did enjoy looking at the paintings! Can you see them all in the back.... wow!
A mi-mi spirit (creation being) and two hunters. 
This man has sore joints... really....see how they are all rounded... he is hurting! Too much hunting! 
We saw a rock wallaby- which most people do not see! She also has a joey with her... this is a black rock wallaby which is very rare- a very cool sighting.
A view over the park from the top of the caves where the paintings are. 
Another view from the top.
The largest falls in AU- Jim-Jim falls in Kakadu NP. We hikedin over bolders and rocks but it was worth it! These falls are usually not running in the dry (now) but this year there has been an unprecidented amount of rain in AU (north) so we were able to see them with falls. Usually people travle to them in the wet (USA winter) by plane because you can not hike to them in the wet b/c the road is covered in water. We were lucky to see them....
Just proof that the water was falling! 
This is as much of the canyon as i could capture in my photo... but it goes all around where we are standing to take the picture! 
Look up! 
This is the Wharf district where we enjoyed dinner on the water. The place is full of ethnic food choices and local fish choices! Sheldon had local Barrimundi fish and chips and I had......
Thai red curry barrimundi with basil fresh rolls (including shrimp and chicken!) SOoooooooo gooooooood! 
A view over Darwin Harbor!
our little friend we found in the Park while walking the loop through! He scurried up a tree when he saw us coming!
A view from the Parliament House (library) over the city to the harbor and Shel taking it all in! Darwin spent over 17 million on this building! 
at the local cometary that dates back to the 1800's we found these two grumpy birds- they DID not want us to be there and made that very clear...." geeze, leave me alone can't you tell we are trying to rest in peace." ha ha ha
At the Botanical Gardens we saw many lovely plants and hundreds of Orchids.... not room for all the pictures but here is a pretty! 
Sheldon watching the sunset in Karumba 
Almost gone!
We went to the Barrimundi Dosc. Center to see how they spawn and release wild Barrimundi. And don't worry all you Sitkans... they're not farmed...because they relaese them into the wild as fingerlings! 
Big Buggers! :) We also got to feed them- and boy do the go for it! It felt like they might take your finger too! 
This is a LIFE SIZE replica of the largest croc ever captured! Holy hell batman! 
YIKES!
This is a MAJOR highway in AU. Like I-75 in MI or I-5 in CA. Notice that at some points it goes down to ONE lane- no markers, etc. ! WOW!
Ahhhh... we are back to two lanes and painted lane markers.... but not much else!
At least there are flowers to look at! 
And snakes like the highway too! It is so warm and nice!
A picture of our outdorr camping shower. Yes, in all our glory we strip down and pour water over eachother along the road.... good thing there are not many people here to see! :)
