There are no Kangaroos Down Under!?

[Mel]

The last night of our 3 night stay at Kakadu we spent at Mary River Crossing - actually the best camp site of all over those days.
Lovely scenery, not many visitors and no light pollution at night.

Just before we got there, I found myself some red kangaroos - who, unfortunately jumped off when I got a bit closer to them.



Lots of wallabies on the actual site. This one, I believe, is an agile wallaby.



A stroll down to the river produced another whistling kite.



And an Australian figbird

At night one of those naughty cane toads hobbled along our camp site.

White Bellied Cuckoo Shrike

And I just figured that I missed out some photos from the day before.
That's what you get when using two cameras - the naming is completely messed up.

Love the wallaby, the toad and the crimson finches, Mel

Lovely landscape shots on top - Looks like a more than nice place to stay

Stunning pics Mel.

Love the billabong scene.

The wallaby looks like he is washing his hands.

Hi Mel

I know you said you didn't see enough kangaroos while you were down under, but you sure got a great photo of the 2 big reds you did see!!
That is such an iconic image of the red kangaroos bounding through the outback - just love it

Plus so many fabulous birds

How many days now until KTP??

Why is it called Alligator River when the alligators are crocodiles

Beautiful rock scenery
