Ranger Talks

Today we got up early because we had to pack up up and drive to our next stop Mardugal Campground.  After we set up we went to Nanguluwur to do a Ranger Guided Walk with a guy named Christian.  We learnt loads and loads of things on plants and Aboriginal Culture.  Once we got to the end of the walk we ended at a wall filled with rock art dated from 30,000 years ago to 55 years ago.  There was lots of different kinds of rock art from different periods of time.  We stayed there for a while and learnt about a new Invertebrate as well as the art.  We then slowly made our way back to the car.  While we were at the caravan a dingo walked through our camp and then walked into the bush.  We then went to Yellow Waters watched the boat cruises take off.  We went on a short walk and saw 2 Brolgas (a large kind of bird), lots of Egrets and a big fire going in the wetlands surrounding us.  Then we went to Nawurlandja and did another Ranger Guided Walk with the same Ranger Christian.  We first went down Anbangbang Billabong and saw lots and lots of Birdlife.  We saw 2 Jabirus, 2 pelicans, lots of ducks, some Egrets and a wallaby.  Then we climbed up on to the lookout which was very special to me.  It looked out over woodland bordered by tall cliffs.  Then we went back for dinner.
