Kakadu National Park - A rare wilderness

Bold cultural and historical colors

With an area of ​​up to 19,000 km²Kakadu is located 170 km southeast of Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. Kakadu is the home of the Gagudju language, one of three Aboriginal languages ​​spoken in the Northern Territory in the early 20th century.

Visitors to Kakadu National Park will have the opportunity to explore the mysterious treasure with vertical cliffs, where the "artworks" of the Aboriginal people are carved and exist here dating back more than 50,000 years. Not only that, this place also preserves footprints and objects, utensils used in daily life or decorated in ceremonies... of the ancient Aboriginal people.

Impressive natural scenery

If you come here, don't miss the opportunity to camp overnight at Koolpin Canyon or the foot of Arnhem Land to experience the exciting life amidst majestic nature.

After many years of living in this land, the indigenous Bininj people have divided Kakadu's weather into six distinct seasons. From December to March of the following year is the Gudjewg season with thundering waterfalls and dazzling lightning. Banggerreng is the season of flowering melaleuca trees and small lakes with an abundance of birds in April. June and August are the Wurrgeng season with pleasant cool weather and clear blue skies. From September onwards is the period of hot, dry Gurrung weather.

Indeed, if you have the opportunity to admire the scenery of Kakadu from above, or follow the river or small lake of this land, visitors will take in the impressive "ink painting" of the wild nature here.

Diverse flora and fauna

Kakadu National Park has long been known for its rich flora and fauna, with crocodile-filled swamps, picturesque waterfalls, and the Nourlangie and Ubirr rock formations with unique aboriginal drawings depicting images of nature and people.

This place is chosen as the "home" of more than 280 species of birds, 60 species of mammals, over 50 species of freshwater, over 10,000 species of insects and over 1,600 species of plants typical of the region, as well as of Australia. When setting foot in this national park, visitors will definitely have extremely unique experiences and will certainly never forget.

Kakadu National Park is also famous for having the most crocodile species in the world, as well as the "endless legends" about them. Due to the natural characteristics and soil, there are two species of crocodiles here, including freshwater crocodiles and brackish water crocodiles. If you have the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Yellow River, you will have the opportunity to see the tiny crocodiles playing in the water. Far away on the shore are the giant crocodiles, up to 3 m long, dozing.

It can be said that Kakadu National Park is one of the attractive options that visitors should not miss when coming to the beautiful land of Kangaroos.
