Up early and into the car for a quick drive to the Mardugal camp ground for a ranger led walk through the woodland of this region. The varied ecological areas in Kakadu are incredible ranging from tidal flats, stone country, monsoon forests, savanna woodlands, floodplains and billabongs. After our walk, we headed back to camp where we decided to drive down a nearby track to sandy billabong where we found an idyllic waterside area to have lunch. After absorbing the views and our lunch we set off for more exploring of the park. We headed to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre. This building resembles the pig-nosed turtle from which it shares it's name, and houses a wide range of informative displays of traditional life and early colonial history.
From there we headed to the Yellow Water Wetlands and to Cooinda. From there the road took us to Maguk and a wander through monsoon forest and along a sandy and rocky creek to a small waterfall and plunge pool before heading back to camp for a well earned rest.
