We are now in Kakadu, where it is hot hot hot. At night after 9:00 pm the temperatures drop to very nice, but during the day we sweat! We have had lots of ranger talks yesterday and today and have learned lots about Aboriginal culture.
We went to Ubirr today, our northernmost point for the whole trip. We looked at many rock paintings in ochre of what they refer to as "x-ray-style": barramundi, freshwater turtles, mullets, all things to eat. Ranger Ben said lots of interesting things.
We then went to Cahills Crossing to look at all the saltwater crocodiles waiting for barramundi. I have never seen that many crocodiles in one spot! There were at least 10 of them right next to were I was standing! But I only looked for 10 minutes, before I tripped and injured my fingernail badly. Mum and Dad took me to the health centre for the rest of the day. I look just like Destiny, Lily or Kobe now, with a big bandage around my hand. Typing is still fine, but there might not be any hand writing for a few days.
Haha! Your poor finger. Luckily, we don't have any injuries in 1/2T at the moment. We just had a look at google maps to see where you were. Will you go down towards Uluru now? We read your postcard from Cape Tribulation, but we had already read your blog post before it arrived in the snail mail. We also just learnt that baby koalas eat their mums poo...Yuck! Kobe said, "Imagine if we had to do that!"
ReplyDeleteDid we mention we have a book parade this week? What would you and Niklas dress up as if you were here? Who are your favourite characters? We also had Musica Viva visit on Friday the band was called Zeeko. You probably remember some of the songs we learnt with Miss Higgs. We have to get on with our comprehension, so bye for now.
We still miss you very much
Love 1/2T
