UBIRR Today we headed out to the East Alligator section of
Kakadu and climbed up to the
Ubirr lookout, here is part of the view over the wetlands towards Arnhem Land, it was quite spectacular. Lot's of sandstone rock formations, very similar to what we saw at Kings Canyon and
Litchfield National Park which also formed part of the inland sea.

EAST ALLIGATOR RIVER, CAHILLS CROSSING Wow, this place was like crocodile city. We were there about 11am and obviously the tide was part way out as this crocodile was on the opposite bank sun baking, another crocodile had drifted near it, hence the open mouth. There were several people fishing on the concrete road which has a rock wall which obviously serves as a guide when the water is flowing.

CAHILLS CROSSING Check out the vehicle making it's way across with the crocodile to the right of it. We were back here about 1pm and it was high tide, the
current was very strong and the water marker peaked at .6. The crocodiles were lurking in the swirling water and catching the
barramundi as they got caught in the tidal water flow - very clever. The crossing takes you across to Arnehm Land which you need a permit to enter.

I was just checking the tides for Cahills Crossing and came across your blog. What an adventure you are having with things I take for granted. I am a regional Sales Rep living in the NT and travel all over. I go into Arnhem Land once a month and have to make that cross, I must say it does make me very nervous everytime!
Travel safe!
