I just came across this article when replying to another person's Toot. Thought it might be of interest... And yes, I did visit Kakadu -- partly as a tourist, and partly to interview Australian Aborigine #antinuclear activists who were protesting an expansion of a #uranium mine.

"Not far from Kakadu are deposits of uranium. Aboriginals have known to avoid this area for centuries—it is known as 'sickness country'. The artwork shown here depicts a person with swollen joints—the first signs of radiation poisoning."
