6 MONTHS ON THE WALLABY

MARY RIVER ROADHOUSE TO JABIRU

We left Mary River Roadhouse on Friday morning and drove to Jabiru where we stayed for 2 nights.  The first day was taken up with setting up and going to the pool and the second day we went back to Mirray Lookout.  It was a very steep climb and the end result wasn't nearly as great as the falls. 

Just before sunset we went to Ubirr Rock which is about 40klms north of Jabiru.  This is a must for all tourists.  At the base of the rock you can see quite a bit of aboriginal rock art. 

 How to describe the rock.   A large eroded outcrop of rocks surrounding the centrepiece which is Ubirr Rock.  The climb to the top is over rocks that have formed into steps.  The top is quite flat and you can see Arnhem Land to one side and the floodplains/wetlands to the other.  The views and the sunset were stunning.

After the sunset is was a mad rush to get off the rock before complete darkness.  We all agreed that Ubirr Rock was one of the highlights of the trip.  Until next time.
