Kakadu

Kakadu National Park is one of Australia's national treasures. Its spectacular scenery and ancient history are preserved for visitors and future generations to come and experience one of the most important scenic regions in the Northern Territory as well as thousands of years of history of the local aboriginal culture.

Kakadu is a bit over three hours drive from Darwin. When you arrive, a visit to the Aboriginal Culture center and park headquarters should be your first stop. Here you can learn all about Kakadu and its importance to the Aboriginal people as well as find out about the best places to visit while exploring the park.Close to the information center are caravan parks, camping areas and several accommodation options.

Kakadu is a place that changes dramatically between the wet and the dry seasons. During the wet, the rivers flood and the billabongs and creeks all fill up. Crocodiles occupy every waterhole and barramundi breed in the floodwaters. The bird life is spectacular as the wetlands provide the nesting sites and food that they need.The natural attractions are sometimes hard to get to. During the dry season, the whole region becomes more accessible. Places to visit in Kakadu National Park include Nourlangie Rock with its important displays of ancient aboriginal cave paintings, Jim Jim falls and the Yellow Water lagoon.

Wherever you travel in Kakadu National Park, you wont be far away from the sandstone ramparts that surround the park perimiter. These provide spectacular photo opportunities and are the most common location of the waterfalls in the park where rivers plunge from the pleatau above into the park itself. You will need to stay in Kakadu for several days to experience all of its attractions so book a tour into the region or take a hire car or motorhome and stay in one of Kakadu's great resorts or caravan parks.
