Kakadu

By this point in the trip, I hadn't cut my hair. So it had been growing for about 3.5 months. The first night in Kakadu, the head shaver came out, and I was talked into shaving my head. I've never had my head shaved before. Hopefully my mom won't disown me! However, since shaving my head, life has been better, as its much cooler without the mop on top.

We started our full day in Kakadu Park by heading to Nourlangie Rock. It’s a pretty spectacular place, as there’s evidence the aboriginals had used the rock as shelter some 20000 years ago. There are a lot of pictographs (I don’t know if that’s the proper name for them, but that’s what we call them in Ontario).

After visiting the rock, we headed for a river cruise to see some crocodiles. However, it wasn’t meant to be. We did see a Jesus bird, which can walk on water.

That night I taught our Aussie Contiki guide Dan how to shotgun beers.
