Darwin trip

My trip to Darwin was long and taxing.

On the first day, I had to endure a dull 4.5 hours within the cramped confines of a economy class seat. The journey had really worn me out, it seems longer than my recent flight to Zurich .I had probably suffered from 'cattle class' syndrome.

Damn..We had to drive in the morning right after our arrival at Darwin in order to reach Kakadu National Park on time. The drive to Kakadu was filled with many little surprises which included the sighting of large termite nests and many wallabies. At around 10am we had reached Bowali Visitor Centre in Jabiru , the first stop of the day. The friendly rangers at the Centre provided us with alot of useful information and valuable suggestions.

We were made our way to Ubirr, a renowned Aboroginal art site to have a look at the beautiful rock paintings by the artistic natives. In order for us to view the painting we had to walk for 1 hour under the sorching sun at temperatures of 40 degrees centigrade.

On the drive back we stopped at an ERA mine for some photos. It was my first time seeing an uranium mine.
