Blog: A another must to see in
Kakadu. We spent a good 50 minutes here just wandering
around. There are many displays though we won't show
you photo's of these- again we want you to see live.
Bowali is based more on the flora and
fauna and geological aspect of Kakadu from what we could
see.
There was still a strong influence of
Aboriginal culture though in case you don't find time
to visit Warradjan
Aboriginal Cultural Center.
We noticed a counter with 3 ladies sitting
there and walked up. They were there as information
guides and we very friendly, knowledgable and helpful.
