Kakadu National Park Tour Guide and General Travel Information
Kakadu National Park is one of the natural marvels of Australia. It encompasses a variety of superb landscapes, swarms with wildlife and has some of Australia's best Aboriginal rock art. The vast park is 153 km by road from Darwin and stretches more than 200 km north to south and 100 km east to west. It is on the World Heritage list both for its natural and cultural importance. Part of the park is Aboriginal land and there are three contentious uranium mining leases operating in the east.
Kakadu National Park Attractions
Attractions include the mysterious looming Nourlangie Rock escarpment, the spectacular rock art site of Ubirr, and Jim Jim and Twin Falls. The best time to visit is probably between May and mid-June, but the most comfortable time is July and August. The rains in the wet season transform the wetlands, with an abundance of plant and animal thriving in the moist conditions. Spectacular animals include crocodiles, turtles, heaps of water birds, and the shy black wallaroo.
