Day 102

10/10/2009

Second day in the rental van, and second day in Kakado National Park. I slept OK but Beth not so well - whether that was the bed, the noisy fridge or other noises outside we're not sure.

Kakado is, like all Australia, Aborigine land, and is famous for it's rock art. We spent quite a few hours at two sites looking at art which is believed to date from as much as 5000 years ago, right up to the 1800's.

Saw our first (live) wallaby (is that how you spell it?) crossing the road in front of us this morning. Several dead ones have also been spotted alongside the road. Kangaroos don't live this far north.

Staying a second night in the park at what is sold as it's best camp site - bar, restaurant, store, two swimming pools etc. Beer at £4 a 250ml bottle leaves a bit of a bad taste though.
