This is the causeway from Thé UNESCO listedKakadu National Park to the remote Aboriginal community of Oenpelli. The crossing is tidal. At low tide up to 60 saltwater crocodiles( they eat people) line the causeway waiting for the tide to bring in fish. They swim in and line up with open mouths. Some silly people like to cross the causeway on a strong incoming tide, like this. If the car was washed off, no one would help and the occupants could well be eaten. It does happen, believe me! All the lumps and bumps in the water are crocodiles. There are lots of online videos of the Cahills Crossing crocs. There are no rescue facilities nearby.

UNESCO World Heritage Listed, The Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is one of the most striking geological landmarks in Northern Western Australia, offering a remote wilderness experience. They cover around 250,000 hectares with thousands of weathered, sculpted domes of ancient eroded mountains composed of Cyanobacteria layers sandwiched in layers of sandstone, giving a dark striped effect. The land is arid, but I found a single rock pool, probably with a small spring supplying it. It is remote and access is by 4WD or super tough vehicle.

The Bungle Bungle Ranges...Purnululu National Park. Far north Western Australia. These are some of the oldest rock formations on earth. It is a World Heritage listed Site in a very remote area. The beehive-shaped domes are Devonian calcareous sandstone, with regularly alternating, dark gray bands of cynobacterial crust.
