Generations of Bininjmungguy have lived on this land for tens of thousands of years. They are connected to the spirit of this land, and Kakadu has therefore been included in the list of world natural and cultural heritage, winning any global honor, and also bringing glory to the oldest social group on earth.

When the boat was moored in the river, An Qingju and Yunluo vaguely saw the river water begin to surge, and the tourists screamed, "Crocodiles are coming." Crocodiles, a term that sounds creepy, do you really have the courage to watch it hunt up close? The fish's heart was in its throat.

The staff was a pretty Australian girl. She skillfully put the meat on the hook and then put the bloody meat into the water like a fishing rod. It is said that wild saltwater crocodiles will come quickly when they smell the fishy smell. The broadcast said that everyone could go to the window on the first floor of the cruise ship to watch, and An Qingju and Yunluo couldn't wait to go down.

At first, everyone was watching through the glass window, but in order to capture the most realistic and shocking shot of the crocodile hunting, Yu opened the window and risked his life to become food in the crocodile's mouth (haha, just an exaggeration. It's not that scary). With the help of high-speed continuous shooting, the following set of shots of crocodiles hunting were captured, which are quite precious.

There are nearly 80,000 rare saltwater crocodiles living in the northern region of Australia. As early as 30 years ago, the government enacted a law prohibiting the killing of crocodiles to protect the natural ecology of the local wetlands. Except near the Adelaide River in the northern region, there are few traces of saltwater crocodiles in other places.

These cold-blooded creatures love to bask in the sun during the winter, but in the wet summer they wrap themselves in the dirt or hide in the shade of trees.

The development of the "Crocodile Jumping Boat Tour" tourism project is due to Stephan's understanding of the life of saltwater crocodiles. After decades of operation, the crocodiles living in this river seem to hide in a corner of the river every day, waiting for delicious food. Therefore, tourists who come here also have the opportunity to experience the life of "Crocodile Dundee".

The aborigines who have lived in Australia for tens of thousands of years once said: "Kakadu is the home of God. It is a gift from God to be able to come here and enjoy its colors, its seasons and its spirit." Kakadu National Park is the largest national park in Australia and has been listed as a natural and cultural dual heritage by UNESCO.

Kakadu National Park is one of the few virgin lands that has not been "polluted" by modern civilization. The Aboriginal culture has been basically preserved intact. The most famous are the two boulders of Ubirr and Nourlangie. The 50,000-year-old Aboriginal rock paintings left on the boulders tell this long story.

This sign shows the process of various mineral (rock) pigments used in Aboriginal rock paintings from prototype to powder and then to pigment. Those black, white, brown, and red ochre not only represent the colors of life, but the ancient rock paintings outlined by those colors are also the source of Aboriginal spiritual power.

Rock paintings played an important role in the lives of the aborigines in northern Australia 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. They had no written language or concept of numbers. Their ancestors only knew how to dip the blood of prey or mix it with rock powder of different colors to paint murals, recording important activities, culture, law, religion and entertainment at that time. The rock painting above records the joyful scene of a successful hunt at that time - a kangaroo.

The rock murals of 'likedance' recorded the scene of men and women singing and dancing, with music and tapping on poles. Jerry has lived in the Northern Territory from the east coast of Australia for more than 20 years. His life has been closely connected with Darwin, Kakadu, camping, RVs, aborigines, hiking, etc. It is hard to imagine that he still does not know how to use the Internet and can only rely on a very old mobile phone to communicate with the outside world, haha!

However, who can say that his lifestyle is not what An Qingju and Yunluo, who live in the so-called halo of modern civilization, yearn for!

In short, the contents of these rock paintings reflect the living content, production methods, and images of certain wild beasts and birds of the local indigenous ancestors in different periods; some of the contents are related to primitive totem worship and religious rituals.

In Kakadu National Park, rafting on the Yellow River is an experience not to be missed.

The Yellow River wetlands are home to a large number of fish, migratory birds and saltwater crocodiles. It is the perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset. Cruise along the palm-fringed waters and enjoy the flora and fauna of the famous floodplains of the Southernligator River.

The Yellow River Wetland Cruise departs every day. It takes two hours to enjoy a relaxing cruise, cruising in a quiet pool surrounded by pandanus trees, bamboo forests and monsoon rainforests. The cruise provides a good environment to see various bird life and perhaps saltwater crocodiles. <4WD, less than half an hour to Cooinda, where An Qingju and Yunluo changed to a 10-seater Yellow River rafting boat and began to drift in the wild fun.

Get lost in the lush green wetlands and forget the way home, watch the colorful birds and fish vying for the water, and startle the crocodiles or buffaloes in the mud - this is the "Fishermen's Boats Singing at Dusk" on the Yellow River in Kakadu National Park.

The two-hour cruise on the Yellow River ended quickly. The tourists carrying their cameras seemed to have not had enough fun, because there were not many birds and wetland animals for An Qingju and Yunluo to encounter that day. The boat captain explained that there would be more during the dry season from May to October.

This seems to give An Qingju and Yunluo enough reasons to come to Kakadu again in the dry season. The meaning of travel lies in the process as well as those seemingly imperfect results and the expectation for the next trip.

The Warangi Aboriginal Cultural Centre is named after the Warradjan, a pig-nosed turtle, and is located near the Yellowwater River. Developed by Kakadu's Aboriginal traditional owners, the exhibitions here showcase the stories that the traditional owners want to share with visitors, allowing visitors to learn about both traditional and modern Aboriginal culture.

For the local Bininj people, who divide the year into six distinct seasons, the scent of the Melaleuca flowers marks the start of the year, which then transitions into rushing waterfalls and dazzling lightning, followed by tranquil waterholes filled with magpie geese and water birds.

Kakadu is a living cultural landscape. Generations of Aboriginal Bininjmungguy have lived on this land for tens of thousands of years, earning it global recognition as a World Heritage Site and honoring the oldest society on earth.

Kakadu is an animal paradise. On the way back to Darwin, I met a British tourist playing with a snake. It is said that the Northern Territory has the most snakes in Australia and is also the most poisonous. Yunluo was a little nervous. I just touched it, and the skin was not as rough as it looked. It was smooth and cool, and it was definitely a high-quality leather. Thinking about it now, it still feels a little bit numb.

Darwin is a small city that combines Asian style and Western characteristics. It is not big but clean and tidy. Whether walking on the spacious and green coastal avenue or strolling on the bright and bustling Mitchell Street, you will feel comfortable. People of dozens of nationalities live in harmony here and enjoy a leisurely lifestyle.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Located on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, Darwin is a city without winter. No longer an outpost on Australia's northern border, Darwin is now a fully-fledged city with all the amenities of a metropolitan city.

This is the most lush and green city of all the capital cities in Australia. After a heavy rain, you can almost hear the sound of everything growing. Enjoying the sunset and storm landscape is one of the reasons why outdoor tourists like this city.

However, what impressed Yunluo the most about Darwin was the spirit and culture of the Australian Aboriginals, which are deeply rooted in the soil. This one-day Aboriginal cultural tour can be said to have benefited Yunluo a lot and opened his eyes. (To be continued...)
