South Eastern Arnhem Escarpment Marrawal Plateau

FF
The Indigenous Jawoyn call this place the sickness country because if you wake up the sleeping Bula he might cause earthquakes and fire will destroy the world. This also the area where they used to mine uranium. I stretched my legs along the Marrawal Plateau to Kurrundie Creek. The Plateau was awash with fields of Crotalaria goreensis which looked like they were tended by a gardener because they were all exactly the same height.
