Visit Kakadu National Park, Australia

The Kakadu National Park is made up of rugged stony plateaux, red escarpments riven by waterfalls, twisting rivers and wetlands festooned with flowers and birds: add in Aboriginal rock art sites and it's easy to see why this is one of the most important UNESCO World-Heritage areas.

Kakadu National Park

Australia

Rugged stony plateaux, red escarpments riven by waterfalls, long twisting rivers and wetlands festooned with flowers and birds: add in a wealth of Aboriginal rock art sites and fauna that is more curious the closer you look and it is easy to see why this is one of the most important UNESCO World-Heritage areas.

Jointly owned by three traditional Aboriginal groups, the Gagadju, Gundjehmi and the Jawoyn, a visit to this park offers a vivid insight into an ancient land.

Exploring Kakadu National Park

Cruise the Yellow Water, East Alligator or Mary River wetlands to see Kakadu in all its glory: crowded with lotus lilies, crocodiles resting idly on the banks, the chatter of the kookaburras puncturing the peace and swarms of parrots scattering the sky.

The finest rock art sites can be found at Nourlangie, while at Ubirr Rock the rock paintings combine with heart-stopping panoramic views.

A sandstone ridge worn by the two strands of Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls: both are exquisitely tranquil during the dry season, seething maelstroms in the wet.

Day visits to the park are possible but an overnight stay accompanied by a guide certainly makes for a more rewarding experience.
