Kakadu

Surprisingly lot of people have tried to put us off going to Kakadu (Kaka-don’t as they call it up here sometimes) saying it’s not really worth the time and money. So we went anyway to see it they were right. We actually liked it though. During the season there are lots of free ranger talks and activities which gave us opportunity to learn a bit about the Aboriginal culture and so allowed us to see the place in different light. Unfortunately some places were once again out of our reach as we only have an old 2WD. We did attempt one unsealed road and nearly got stuck in a water crossing. But Betty is a true warrior and got us out but we stayed on proper roads after that. Even so there are heaps of lovely places to visit and for us it is Kaka-do.

Kakadu je nejvetsi narodni park v Severnim Teritoriu a jednim z nejznamejsich parku v Australii. Byli jsme celkem rekvapeni, kdyz se nas od nej snazilo nekolik lidi odradit, ze prej to nestoji za namahu a penize. Presto jsme se tam vydali to omrknout na vlastni oci a nahodou se nam tam celkem libilo. Behem sezonay tam byla spousta aktivit zdarma, tak jsme jich nekolik obesli a dozvedeli jsme se neco malo o aboriginske kulture, diky cemuz  jsme se mohli divat na Kakadu jinyma ocima. Bohuzel mnoha mista nam byla opet nepristupna, nebot mame pohon na dve kola. Pokusili jsme se o jednou prasnou cestu a malem jsme uvizli pri prejezdu jednoho potucku. Betty je ale bojovnice a ven se vyhrabala, nicmene dal uz jsme zadne nejiste tereny nepokouseli. I tak jsme toho celkem hodne videli a nasvstevu doporucujeme.
