1615 (8637 km) Strange statues of "Dreaming" of an aboriginal family with some animals like kangaroo. There were a number of aboriginals hanging around the area. The children appeared to be "attending" class being taught by some elders. Some women were carving boab nuts. One of them came up to us and offered a carved nut to us. We had a look and bought a nice black carved boab nut from them. It was interesting that they had a box of XXXX beer and everyone there was just helping themselves. Then we went to see the largest boab tree in captivity. It was huge. Really huge. And there was a donkey just hanging around the area.
1630 (8638 km) Large crocodile statue. Had a sign that said don't climb.
1715 (8676 km) The Grotto. Had 140 steep and narrow steps down to a water hole that had lots of birds. Smelt of bird droppings. There was a rope over the waterhole. We could imagine in the hotter weather there would be lots of people there jumping into the water.
