G’day G’day to everyone back in Melbourne!
It was a bright and early rise down at the resort. Our day started at 8AM with everyone up and ready for a day full of swimming in the natural swimming holes of Jabaru. We packed our swimsuits ready to go. We took a fun bus ride to the Warradjan Aboriginal Culture Centre, while jamming to hits from Michael Jackson and Adele, as well as some, good old Aussie hits from our tour guide Ryan. At the centre, we got to learn about all how the Indigenous communities from around Jabiru survived in these incredible landscapes on their own for thousands of years. We were amazed at how the clans were able to live with the land and make the most of Mother Nature’s resources. We then took some time in the gift shop.
Later on in the day, we made our way to one of the most stunning places we have ever been to. As we were walking, we could faintly hear the gushing water. We arrived through the landscapes of Kakadu into a beautiful water hole surrounded by the rocky mountains with a tall, flowing waterfall. Everyone dove into the lake as soon as we got there and felt the refreshment of the water. We swam in the water hole and spent a solid 1.5 hours chilling in the beautiful rock pool. We all knew how lucky we were to have access to these places. When it was time to go, we walled back to the bus for lunch.
After out delicious meal, we took another road trip that lasted another hour. Finally, we arrived at our destination. Ryan had taken us to Gunlom, the last water hole of the day. It was worth the final climb as we saw the stunning pools and waterfall on the cliff’s edge. Ah, the serenity! After the relaxing hour swim in the infinity pools, we headed back down the cliff. We made our way back home for dinner and rest!
Goodnight Everyone,
Stella and Tony on behalf of the Australia Group🇦🇺♂️
