Unfortunately, all the 4WD tours for fishing and the swimming holes were booked out so we ran our own tour.

Started with the Warradjan Cultural Centre 2km from Cooinda. So interesting and great displays.

Because of his height, Mark was commandeered by the lone worker to help hang a set of buffalo horns. In return, the guy regaled a number of the Dreaming stories. The same guy told Donna she had a beautiful aura and he told her the story of why only men can play the didgeridoo (a little R-rated). Mark was convinced that the guy was trying to pick up Donna.

We then went to see some rock art at Anbangbang. It was incredible to see something so old and yet so preserved. The views were spectacular.

We visited a billabong while we were there, keeping an eye out for any of our reptilian friends.

Lunch ended up being chicken and salad rolls at Jabiru’s IGA.

We went to the Information Centre on the way home and again, an impressive display. So many interesting facts about the South Alligator River area, its flora and fauna, the original inhabitants and the effects of ‘progress’.

After Donna and Mark recommended it, Wayne and I went for a quick walk to the resident billabong.

We all had a kip and then enjoyed an afternoon of drinks and laughs. We enjoyed an incident-free dinner and retired for the night. Another great day!
