Part Three

So for this one lets talk about my completly awesome birthday surprise that ,my host mum had brought for me and also a friend to come along with, me aswell which was pretty awesome so on the 15th Nov with my friend Dilan at 1.30pm we went to the transit centre to wait for our bus, although it took awhile to find the place, not the best directioms to find it though, went on a half day tour with aat kings,

This tour took us down to Adelaide River and wemt on a Cruise called Spectaular jumping Crocidiles, that was pretty awesome, saw a lot of crocodiles, and also got ro see them being feed, that was a nice time out on the river nice and peaceful minus the fact that there was crocodiles :), after that we went to the windows over the wetlands, that was pretty awesome gave you a lovely view of the whole area, and after that we headed to Fogg dam which was very lovely looking with to drive along a look out the window at.

So it was a pretty fun day.

Next adventure was last weekend 21-23  with 3 other Au Pairs went out to  Kakadu National park for the weekend which was a pretty awesome, fun, excitimg and also exhausting weekend but other than that was a great place to go,
On the friday we headed down to Cooinda where we were staying in the lodge there, first we stopped at the supermarket at palmerston to grab food for the weekend, then we headed off on our Journey,

We arrived at our accomadation at about 6ish and checked in plus also buying a park pass as well
Hotel was quite nice, after we got all our gear from the car and sorted it all out in our room, we had then got ready to jump in the pool, and after spending a couple of hours there we had ourselves some dinner and sat outside chatting whilst planning the next day.

So on the saturday we woke up ealrly and left cooinda at around  7ish and headed on our way towards Gunlom,, drove along a very lovely red dirt road, where we tolk a few photos , along the road towards Gunlom, a big buffalo stood in the middle of the road for a bit,  bit once a road train came barrelling past and the the buffalo ran away,

Was a good thing too we were pretty much in 4wd because the road got very 4wd car worthy.
At Gunlom there of us walked up the top of the track, with a lovely view of the area looking from thetop of the Gunlom falls, we walked down a bit further where there were a few pools and went swimming in them, was very lovely

After gulom falls we headed back to the lodge and 8relaxed for a bit whilst we waited a bit longer to head to our next activity,
Next we headed to an area where you could see crcodiles roaming around in the river, as will as a lovely little bush walk, where a lot of bats were hanging around in the tress,  afterwards we  headed to a place called Ubirr, saw lots of fantastic and wonderful rock art, which was just amazing, then we climbed up a pretty big rock that gave a massive, and speechless view of Kakadu it was just amazing, also watched the sunset from there as well,

Afthe night we headed back to the lodge and had dinner and played a game of Ino.

On sunday morning we got up extra early because we were heading on a cruise along the Yellow river, it was a wetlands cruise it was pretty amazing, lots of different birds, millions ( of crocidiles, it was a lovely early morning  cruise
After the cruise we got a free breakfast back at the lodge which was free, was sooo much food there.

Once we checked out of the accomadation we checked out the cultural centre, that talked about many different aboriginal traditioms,.
Then we went for a walk up  a steep hill to a lookout called Mirrai lookout, with a lovely 360 view, after that we headed to another place, where we saw more rock art
