The wetlands in Kakadu teemed with bird and water
life. Oh, and mosquitoes . . . but we only discovered that later!

Perfect disguise - a butterfly the same colour as
the flower.

They call them the Cathedrals of the North - built
by millions of tiny, blind termites.

A water lily in a billabong.

The Nourlangie Rock towers over the wetlands.

A Sea Eagle perched over the South Alligator River. They are sacred to
the Aborigines who believe the eagles look after the spirits of the dead.

A Great Egret. One of hundreds.

Lotus Lilies in flower and an egret waiting for an unwary fish.

In the foreground is a Jabiru.
