Yellow Water is one of Kakadu’s most important wetland systems, home to abundant birdlife and saltwater crocodiles. At first light, the floodplains felt immense, with wildlife already active across the waterways.

All journal entriesAn Evening at Ubirr
Ubirr is home to some of Australia’s most remarkable Aboriginal rock art. The paintings record stories of people, animals and creation ancestors, preserving traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Many of the paintings are found within natural rock shelters overlooking the surrounding country, linking the stories on the walls to the landscape beyond.
From the lookout, the Nadab floodplain stretches towards the Arnhem Land escarpment. During the wet season much of this country lies underwater, transforming the landscape completely.
