East of Kakadu National Park is the rocky region of Arnhem Land. Arnhem Land is under the jurisdiction of the local aborigines and was the first such land to be granted to them. The name Arnhem Land was taken from the name of a Dutch vessel, the "Arnhem", which once visited the Top End. The vessel shares its name with a Dutch city, which I visited in 1999 on a school band and orchestra trip to the Netherlands. If it sunds familiar, it is the city where the World War 2 Operation Market-Garden, a joint U.S.-U.K. mission, was stalled in 1944. Arnhem contained the untaken bridge which formed the basis for the movie "A Bridge Too Far".
