Generations of Bininj (Bingguy) have lived on this land for tens of thousands of years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They are connected to the spirit of the land, and Kakadu has been included in the list of the world's self-heating and cultural heritage, gaining any global and bringing glory to the oldest social group on the planet.

This is the 4WD vehicle of the VIPT that An Qingju and Yunluo are riding, and it will accompany An Qingju and Yunluo on most of their journeys in the Northern Territory. VIP is Australia's largest travel group ATP brand, they basically do day tours in Australia, if you are a backpacker with good English, you can sign up for their group.

On the way southeast from Darwin to Kakadu National Park, you'll pass the Adelaide River, where the incomparable, thrilling SpectrJumpingCRR crocodile jumping cruise is located, and is said to have been filmed on the Crocodile Dundee, the famous Crocodile Dundee film from N years ago.

When the pleasure boat was moored in the river, An Qingju and Yunluo vaguely saw that the river began to surge, and the tourists screamed, the crocodile came. Does the crocodile, as creepy-sounding a term, really have the courage to watch it hunt up close? The fish's heart rose to his throat.

The staff is a beautiful Australian girl, and she skillfully threads the meat she brings on a hook and then sloshes the bloody meat into the water like a fishing rod, so that the wild saltwater crocodiles will quickly come to the smell of fish. The radio said that everyone could go to the window on the first floor of the cruise ship to watch, and An Qingju and Yunluo couldn't wait to go down.

At first, everyone watched through the glass window, but in order to capture the most realistic and shocking crocodile predation, the fish still opened the window, risking the "life" of becoming the crocodile's mouth (haha, exaggerate). It's not that scary), with the help of high-speed continuous shooting, the following group of crocodiles hunting, which is quite precious.

Nearly 80,000 rare saltwater crocodiles live in the northern region of Australia, and 30 years ago, the government introduced a law banning the killing of crocodiles to protect the natural ecology of the local wetlands. Except in the northern region near the Adelaide River, there are few saltwater crocodiles to be found.

These cold-blooded guys love to bask in the sun during the winter months. In the wet summer months, they wrap themselves in the dirt or hide under the shade of trees.

The "Crocodile Jumping Cruise" tourism project was developed thanks to Stephan's knowledge of the saltwater crocodile life, which after decades of operation, seems to be hiding somewhere in the river, waiting to be delicious. Therefore, visitors who come here also have the opportunity to experience the life of "Crocodile Dundee".

Aboriginal people who have lived in Australia for tens of thousands of years have said, "Kakadu is the home of God, and it is a gift from God to be able to come here and enjoy its colours, its seasons and its spirit." "Kakadu National Park is Australia's largest national park and is a UNESCO Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.

ThegateofKakadu National Park is one of the few virgin sites that has not been "polluted" by modern civilization, and the Aboriginal culture has been largely preserved. The most famous are the two megaliths of Ubir Rock and Norlangi Rock. and the 50,000-year-old Aboriginal rock paintings left on the boulder tell this ancient story.

This plaque shows the process of various mineral (rock) pigments used in Aboriginal rock murals from prototype to polishing into powder and then to pigment. The black, white, brownish, yellow, and red ochre colors not only represent the colors of life, but also the ancient rock paintings outlined by those colors are the source of the spiritual strength of the aborigines.

Rock paintings have played an important role in the lives of the Aboriginal people of northern Australia for 40,000-50,000 years, they have no concept of writing or counting, and their ancestors only know how to dip the blood of their prey or smear them with different colors of rock powder into murals, recording important activities, culture, laws, religion and entertainment at that time. The rock painting above is a record of the joyful scene of a successful hunt - a kangaroo was hunted.

Wander the Loop at the bottom of Nierock and savor the ancient legends of Aboriginal culture. Rock paintings are generally painted in such sheltered places, which are not easy to touch and rain.

The 'liketodance' rock mural records the scene of men and women singing and dancing at that time, with rhythmic knocking on the pole. There is didgeridoo and hyun, and the dance allows them to see hope in life.

An Qingju and Yunluo's tour guide from VIPT Jerry has lived from the east coast of Australia to the Northern Territory for more than 20 years. His life has been closely linked to Darwin, Kakadu, camping, RV, Aboriginal, hiking, etc.; It's hard to imagine that he still doesn't know how to use the Internet and can only rely on an old mobile phone to communicate with the outside world, haha!

However, who can say that his way of life is not what An Qingju and Yunluo, who live under the so-called halo of modern civilization every day, yearn for!

Nierock, a standalone protrusion from a steep cliff, has protected local residents from the Gudjewg storm season from January to March for thousands of years. To this day, the rock painting of the aborigines above still clearly reproduces the scene of the storm at that time.

In short, the contents of these rock paintings reflect the life content and production methods of the local indigenous ancestors in various periods, as well as the images of certain wild beasts and birds; Part of it is related to primitive totem worship and religious rituals.

In Kakadu National Park, boating on the Yellow Water River is a must-see.

The wetlands of the Yellow Water River are home to a large number of fish, migratory birds and saltwater crocodiles. It's the perfect spot to watch the sunrise and sunset. Cruising along the palm-fringed waters, visitors can see the flora and fauna of the famous floodplains of the South Aligate River.

Cruises on the Huangshui River Wetlands depart daily. Enjoy a relaxing two-hour cruise through tranquil waterholes surrounded by pandanus, bamboo and monsoon rainforests, offering a great setting to see a variety of birds and perhaps saltwater crocodiles.

After breakfast, at about 8:30, everyone took the VIP four-wheel drive car, and arrived at DA in less than half an hour, where An Qingju and Yunluo changed into a 10-seater Huangshui River rafting boat and began to float in a wild fun.

Soak up the green wetlands and don't know how to go home, watch the birds and fish that fight for it, and startle the crocodiles or buffalo in the mud ponds – this is the "fishing boat singing at night" on the Yellow River in Kakadu National Park.

The two-hour cruise on the Huangshui River ended quickly, and the tourists with long guns and short guns seemed to be not finished yet, because there were not too many birds and wetland animals for An Qingju and Yunluo to bump into that day, and the boat boss explained that there would be more during the dry season from May to October.

This seems to give An Qingju and Yunluo enough reasons to come back to Kakadu again in the dry season. The meaning of travel lies in the process, but also in the seemingly imperfect results and anticipation of the next trip.

The Warrenki Aboriginal Cultural Centre is named after the warradjan – pig-nosed turtle – and is located near the Yellow Water River. Developed by the traditional Aboriginal owners of Kakadu, the exhibits showcase the stories that the traditional owners wish to share with visitors, allowing visitors to learn about both traditional and modern Aboriginal culture.

The local Bininj people divide the year into 6 different seasons. For them, the floral scent of Melaleuca marks the beginning of the year, followed by rushing waterfalls and dazzling thunder and lightning, followed by tranquil waterholes crowded with magpie geese and waterfowl.

Kakadu is a living cultural landscape. Generations of indigenous Bininj/Mungguys have lived on the land for tens of thousands of years, and Kakadu has been included in the World Heritage List, gaining global recognition and bringing glory to the oldest social group on Earth.

Kakadu is a paradise for animals, and on the way back to Darwin, I met a British tourist playing with snakes, which are said to be the most poisonous snakes in Australia. Just touched it, the skin is not as rough as it sees, slippery and cool, it is definitely high-quality leather, and now I think about it is still a little numb.

Darwin is a small city with Asian flair and Western flair, and whether you're walking down the wide, green Corniche, or the glittering streets of Michelle, there's only two things to feel like: comfortable. People of dozens of nationalities live in harmony here and enjoy a casual lifestyle.

Located on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, Darwin is a city without winter. No longer an outpost on Australia's northern border, Darwin is now a well-equipped city with all the amenities of a metropolis.

It's one of Australia's most lush provincial capitals, and after a heavy rain, you can hear everything growing. Enjoying the sunset and stormy views is one of the reasons outdoor travelers love the city.

However, it was the spirit and culture of Australia's Aboriginal people that were deeply rooted in the soil that struck Darwin the most. This one-day aboriginal cultural tour can be said to have benefited Yunluo a lot and opened his eyes. (To be continued......)
