I’m woken at the crack of dawn by noise that would wake the dead - thousands of birds in chorus in the trees around the hotel. I wonder how Issy can possibly still be asleep.

Absolutely spectacular Indigenous Rock Art from Kakadu, Dave. One day I plan to do an extensive trip of indigenous art sites in Oz. I have a local one planned so your post encourages me to make sure it happens. I have posted your pic in TB's "Rock Art" thread in the Photography Forum. Check it out and Keep 'em coming.
