We had the wonderful opportunity of going for a walk with a traditional owner of the land Neddie who has lived in the area since a young child. On the short walk around the property we got to taste some yummy sour rosella flowers, ants (not me), and learnt about the paper bark tree. We learnt about eucalyptus plants that were used as bush medicine, and what termite mounds are filled with, their poo apparently!! A mixture of termite poo and water is great for diarrheoa..
The scenary surrounding us is magical.. We've seen countless wallabies hopping by, bush pigs and a dingo or two. The evenings are filled with amazing sounds, dingo's howling, birds screeching, cockatoo's fighting. And of course those mosquitoes buzzing.
Tomorrow we set off to the most remote area we'll be visiting, Mt. Borradaile in Arnhemland.
