Keep River park

 

On the way to Katherine I stopped at Keep River Park, I only spent a couple of hours here but could have spent a lot longer.

I was told by some other people that these were brolgas but I am not sure they did not seem big enough and they had spoon beaks.

This is an interesting bit of aboriginal culture. very inventive but must have taken a lot of patience.

This area geologically is very similar to Bungle Bungle.

This was an enjoyable digression from a long drive, not going to get to Katherine today, need to find somewhere to stop for the night.

This is a parasitic plant that is killing a vast quantity of native trees in the north of Australia.
