Adventure Tour Kings ali ndi chilolezo chapadera choyendetsa kampu ya safari ku Hawk Dreaming, gawo la mndandanda wa Kakadu's World Heritage. Mphindi zochepa kuchokera kuzipinda zathu zabwino, nthambi zapita zodzaza ndi ma cockatiel oyera, machulu a chiswe opitirira 2 metres ndi mpanda wodabwitsa wodutsa njira yathu, tikuyimilira mu "nyumba" ya Big Bill.

"Khitchini" yake ndi malo angapo mu thanthwe, kumene banja lake limakhala ndi njere ndi zipatso kwa zaka mazana ambiri. Khola lake pansi pa thanthwe ndi pomwe makolo amtundu wake amawonetsedwa mu ocher wofiira, bwalo lake lakutsogolo ndi billabong pomwe ng'ona zamadzi amchere zimadzuwa pakati pa mitundu 400 ya mbalame zaku Northern Territory.

Zikuoneka kuti n’zochepa kwambiri zochirikizira moyo, komabe fuko la Bill linkapeza chakudya, pogona, kudziteteza ku zinthu zachilengedwe—ngakhale kupeza mbali zoyenerera za machulu a tizilombo tochiza chilichonse, kuyambira kupweteka kwa dzino mpaka kusagaya chakudya. Kumene chidindo chachikulu cha dzanja cha Bill chimapangidwira pathanthwe, angapo a fuko lake akuwonekabe pang'onopang'ono, pamene mitengo ya kanjedza yatsopano yaubwana imasonyeza kubwera kwa zidzukulu zake.

Pambuyo pake, pamene mtsogoleri wathu wolimba mtima wa AAT Kings Kerry akutiperekeza ku malo ochititsa chidwi kwambiri a Ubirr pamwamba pa chigwa cha Nadab, tikuwona zolengedwa zambirimbiri zojambulidwa m'thanthwe, kuchokera ku mizimu yonyansa yofanana ndi nsomba ndi nyama zoyamwitsa, zomwe zikutanthauza kusonyeza mibadwo yomwe ikubwera. mbali zake zimadyedwa.

Izi zinalinso chenjezo kwa mafuko odutsa ponena za zinthu zomwe zingasakanidwe ndi zopatulika kwa anthu a m’deralo. Kukhala ndi chibwenzi cholondola n'kosatheka, kupatulapo zithunzi zochititsa mantha za zombo zapamadzi ndi munthu wokhala ndi chitoliro.

Zina mwazinthu zam'deralo zatsala pang'ono kukhudza, koma monga momwe mungakhudzire Mona Lisa, muyenera kusilira. Sizojambula zonse mu 20,000 sq-km ya Kakadu ndizotsegulidwa kwa anthu akunja kapena kuloledwa kujambulidwa. Ndipo madera ena opatulika amakhalabe ofikirika kwa akulu aamuna pamwambo woyambira kapena "nthawi yachisoni" (maliro).

Mbalame, odya uchi ndi mapiko a jabirus akudutsa pa bwato lathu loyendera pamene akavalo am’tchire ( brumbies ) ndi njati zimadya chapatali.

Nkhani yochititsa chidwi ya ng'ona yomwe ikuwopseza gombe lamaliseche imasekedwa tsiku lomwe tifika ndipo ndizowona kuti kwa aliyense yemwe mungawone, mwina 20 simukuwona. Koma mu NT monse, malo awo okhala amalembedwa bwino, amatsekeredwa m'malo oyandikana ndi anthu ndikumasulidwa mosatekeseka.

Zokwawa sizingakwere kumtunda kwa Kakadu, komwe kuli koyenera kwa apaulendo omwe ali ndi njira zosavuta zofikira ku ma miliyoni miliyoni. Nourlangie Rock imalumikizidwa ndikuyenda mozungulira kwa 1.5-km komwe kuli ndi malo ojambula, motsogozedwa ndi osamalira mapaki.
