Kakadu National Park
Tell a Friend
A TASTE OF ABORIGINAL CULTURE
World Heritage listed both for culture and natural values - Kakadu National Park is an exceptional place to visit and should be high on your list. A National Park unlike any other, Kakadu, covering almost 20,000 square kilometers, is jointly managed both by its Aboriginal traditional owners and the Director of National Parks.
Kakadu offers a unique opportunity to experience Aboriginal culture and the opportunity to learn about Kakadu's and the culture and traditions of Bininj/Mungguy.
During the dry season visitors can join Park Rangers for free activities: art site talks, walks, cultural activities, and night-time slide shows. The park is very diverse, containing six major landscapes types, 68 kinds of mammals, more than 120 types of reptiles, 26 species of frogs, more than 2,000 plants and over 10,000 species of insects.
Kakadu contains one of the largest concentrations of rock art in the world, making one of the longest records of any group of people. Visit the artworks of the rock shelters at Ubirr and Nourlangie. It is a great place for boating and fishing as well. But be sure to read up on the parks laws, as they are well enforced!
Kakadu is a great place to spend a few days, and offers many greatcamping facilities both park run and commercially operated offering both generator and non-generator zones. However there is a no reservation policy so make sure to arrive early in order to save your spot.
This is a stop you are not going to want to miss! Make sure to factor in a few days in order to fully appreciate and see the entire Park!
