Kakadu National Park

The national park extends across 20,000 square kilometers of wetlands, rivers, and savanna woodlands in the Northern Territory near Darwin.

Archaeological evidence demonstrates continuous human occupation in the Kakadu region for over 65,000 years through numerous rock art sites.

Aboriginal communities maintain traditional land management practices while sharing their knowledge through guided tours of ancestral territories.

Visitors need to purchase entry passes and follow safety guidelines regarding crocodiles in waterways when exploring designated walking trails.

The park changes substantially during wet season from November to April, when seasonal floods transform the landscape into rich wildlife habitats.
