 The Arafura Swamp is one of the largest wooded swamps in Australia and covers approximately 1,300 
square kilometres. This incredibly diverse wetland can support up to 300,000 waterbirds at any one time, 
including Magpie Geese, Egrets, Black-necked Stork and Brolgas. The swamp is of great cultural significance to the Yolngu People and was also the location for the 2006 film ‘Ten Canoes’. Photo taken several weeks ago is a typical scenario with a wild buffalo & collections of egrets & magpie geese sprinkled around with wetland grasses in the foreground.🤔 😎 😜

 Came across this very colourful critter during a recent walk in the Mt Borradaile area of West Arnhem in far north Australia - wondering if the redness is partly due to the red dust in the outback?😜
