Happy days!
It's getting so close now to that time of the year.
I can't wait to get back up in a chopper and see Jim Jim and Twin Falls pumping this wet season.

This has to be one of the best starts to exploring Ubirr ever.
We got to watch this Joey, Wilkins' Rock Wallaby, having a bit brekky, while Mum and Dad were hanging off to the side.

Had a few days off, so headed back out to Kakadu. My early morning start was rewarded with nearly two hours of having Ubirr all to myself. #awayfromthecrowds #ubirr #sugarbagsafaris 🥾 🎨 🤠

It definitely pays to be careful around any body of water. Found this one just in a culvert on the side of the road, might be a mum too, was a few young ones hanging around.

Middle of the school holidays, and we have all this to ourselves. Jarrangbarnmi is definitely one of the highlights in Kakadu National Park.

					  My partner and I travelled with Sugarbag Safaris for a 3 day, 2 nights tour in Kakadu.  Right from the first enquiry Hamish was very helpful and supportive and... read more determined what we would like to see and do.  With the threat of instant border closures from COVID outbreaks, Hamish remained adaptable.

We travelled with Hamish at the start of the wet season and the weather was not always in our favour.  Hamish remained easy going, relaxed and flexible and readily adapted to the changing conditions.  Hamish was very knowledgeable about the local aboriginal lore and culture, very observant with the local flora and fauna, and is an overall great guide.

The tour was well organised and featured picnic lunches which were well catered.

My partner and I have no hesitation in recommending Sugarbag Safaris to anyone who is looking for a guided tour of the top end.
