Darwin we headed towards Kakadu NP via Howard Springs, Fogg Dam Reserve,  Leaning Tree Park,
Window on the Wetlands, and the Aurora area where we spent a couple of fabulous days in 104 degree
heat.  12/27/13 Katherine and the Katherine Gorge, Australia:  White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Weebill,
Striated Pardalote, Straw-necked Ibis , Radjah Shelduck , Plumed Whistling-Duck , Pied Cormorant , and a
wonderful view via boat of a Great-billed Heron .
12/27/13 Katherine and the Katherine Gorge, Australia:  One of the interesting interactions we saw here
was a Pied Butcherbird pair playing together.  They rolled about on the ground, tossing sticks and leaves
in the air and finally ended up mating.  Also a Torresian Crow and a Wallaby with its young in the pouch.
