Site Examination no.1 (apologies for the poor image quality)

KAKADU not far from a place called Humpty Doo.



I strongly suggest you check this place out on Google maps. Just to check out what’s happening in the area…


Kinda looks like someone’s scratched the land…or scrunched it up like a piece of paper and tried to flatten it out again.




Looks like a cloudy day in Kakadu!



Wow. This town looks like the place to be!




Fire?




Some of the local wildlife…




Crop circles?

This site has information on different area’s in Kakadu. The Jabiru Area looks like the main residential area, but I think the Nourlangie Area looks like a nice place to build a house with its “stunning rock art galleries”, or even the Mary River Area and we could utilise the river water in our design…if we’re allowed.


It also has information regarding the six seasons of this area. The weather throughout the year seems to change dramatically, from blue skies to torrential rain and flooding. I think we will have to find a way to cater for all these conditions in our design.
