After a long bumpy drive where Oscar bashed himself on a window and bit his lip..we stopped at endless sites on the way.. However each gave us a great insight into Aboriginal life..
Was strange that we seemed to have a much better idea than many of the city dwelling older visitors from Melbourne and Sydney.. They just saw the indigenous people as drunk pikeys!!
Although a generalisation would seem that the Aboriginal people are happier living off the land..
Ended up the Hawk Dreaming campsite at teatime , we were immediately whisked off for a sunset view of the croc's at the local Billabong..stunning!!
However we got stuck on a sandy track and darkness fell.. With it a swarm of mosquitos attacked.. We were eaten alive literally!!
Dad helped push the 4x4 with no joy.. We had to send for another landrover to help get us out.. Turned out the 4 wheel drive was not engaged..phew!!
Got back at dark settled into camp.. Ate CROCODILE and KANGAROO .. all tastes like chicken (not really)..
Mum managed to calm down after our outback experience if earlier.. White wine helped!!
After a video about Kakadu .. The size of Wales !! Plus all about the Aboriginal people, especially Big Bill Nedige who helped set up the park .. It was off to bed after a mossie war!! Oscar looked after mum in one tent with Felix and dad in the other...
