I didn't expect that there is such a good museum in this small city. I saw many very impressive and imaginative works of art in it. In fact, I think the most important thing here is the art.

I don't know why, but this place always gives me the feeling of a fishing village, especially this beach. There aren't too many people here in the evening, just a few sailboats here and there, like small boats returning from fishing.

Lichfeld National Park, a resort that locals find more suitable than Kakadu, is full of giant dumplings left by termites for up to 50 years. The waterfalls in the mountains are so clear and refreshing that the whole family of the local people come to swim. The pools formed by the waterfalls in the mountains have become natural swimming pools.
