Namarrgon, the Lightning Man

We began out day with a visit to Mamukala Wetlands to view local birds before we headed to Nourlangie Aboriginal Art Site. We toured more Aboriginal art painted in shallow caves or under overhangs. My favorite painting was of Namarrgon, the Lightning Man. He is shown with a circle of lightning around him and with axes on his elbows and knees to make thunder. In the picture below, he is the white figure on the right side. We also had another beautiful hike to see a great panoramic view around parts of Kakadu National Park.
