KAKADU

After a long drive and another great workshop in Blackall, we arrived in Kununurra where we left our truck and flew to Darwin to start the Outback workshop with International Artist. Following a couple of days painting in Litchfield National Park we headed out to Kakadu for some painting and exploring. One of the highlights of Kakadu is the Yellow Waters Cruise. We have done it many times and it is always spectacular and always different.

These Jakana chicks hatch out of the egg with small fluffy bodies and ridiculously over sized feet

As they grow the body gets bigger and less fluffy and the legs grow even further out of proportion.
