Dave and Robyn Wilson, Northern Territory, Australia, spent a week in September 2002 in Central Arnhem Land looking for small fishes and water plants. Arnhem Land is a huge Aboriginal Reserve at the top end of the Northern Territory. It is shown on this map created by Peter R. Lister (click on the map for the legend).

Chequered Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia splendida inornata ) from Kolorbidahdah. It was caught on a miniature hook and a crumb of bread.
		>Pseudomugil gertrudae, Spotted Blue-eyes from the Cadell billabong This is a small billabong > near where the Maningrida Road crosses the Cadell River.

The Nymphaea violacea in this billabong had white, mauve and pale blue flowers.
