We went to Ubirr, our turn-around point for the trip. Ranger Ben gave a great talk about Aboriginal culture, stories and the dreaming. We have learned about kinship, language and the law, and stories, lots of stories. One is about two girls who liked to play crocodile to scare people. One day, they transformed into crocodiles themselves. They have transformed into the lumps behind the crocs' eyes, to remind all people of their sad story.
