After a delicious lunch we stop at the Marrawuddi Gallery in Jabiru then head to the East Alligator Region of the park to Ubirr Rock Art Site and Lookout where you will view ancient rock art galleries, some believed to be 20,000 years old.  A 250 moderately steep climb to the top leads to a lookout with a sepctacular view of the surrounding wetlands. For those who do not wish to go all the way can still experience the rock art and get a part view of the Nadab floodplains.
