Kakadu

Stretching across 20,000 square kilometres in the ‘Top End’ of Australia, the Kakadu National Park is probably unlike anything you’ve seen before. In this UNESCO World-Heritage site, you’ll find the oldest living culture, walk among rock art galleries that date back to 20,000 years, experience up to six strikingly different seasons and even discover one-third of Australia’s bird life! Visit here if you’re ready for an outback expedition that defies all expectations!

The best and easiest way to experience the different natural landscapes and iconic wildlife of this region is on one of the Kakadu cruises. Almost 10,000 crocs live in these parts, and on one of these Kakadu River cruises you’ll likely see more than one in their natural habitat. Don’t miss the sunrise and sunset cruises along the majestic Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba) Billabong, which is part of the South Alligator River System!

Doubly special — Kakadu is one of the few places on Earth that is World-Heritage listed for both its natural and cultural values. The park is home to many pockets of intricate rock art that shares the stories of the land, its people and Dreamtime. These different sets of artwork are the oldest historical record of any group of people on Earth! How cool is that! Check out the art at Ubirr, Burrungkuy or at the Marrawuddi Arts and Culture centre. Some Kakadu boat tours also take you to some galleries as part of its full day experiences.

Beyond the rock art and crocs, there are few must-see spots, one of them being the Gunlom Falls, where the famous Crocodile Dundee was shot. For those ready to trek, Jim Jim Falls, the park’s tallest waterfall, awaits with breathtaking views that make every step worthwhile. Visiting this legendary outback is an experience you’ll want to share with the people you love. Between the Kakadu guided tours, cascading waterfalls, intricate rock art and iconic wildlife, Kakadu National Park has so much to offer! Come, explore this gem!
