Blog: We visited the Warradjan Centre at 9am sharp on a Friday in september 2007.

It was only 1klm from Cooinda Resort in the South of Kakadu National Park where we stayed the night before and only 1.5km from Yellow Waters Boat Cruise boardwalk/jetty.

Being the only folks there it had an errie feeling but very overwhelming feeling as walked slowly thru the internal path system.

It was a mix of how the Aboriginals lived and used the land and also how they care for the land. Then we leanrt much more about the anima;ls from various other sections.

We thought OK 5 mins and we would be out of there. 45 minutes we walked out very quietly and looked at each other and just said one one 'Impressive'.

Photo's were not allowed inside so you will have to experience it in person folks.
