Park Information
Kakadu is open to visitors every day of the year.
One of the first stops in your visit to the park should be the Bowali Visitor Centre, where our friendly staff can provide information on where the best places are to visit, dry season activities, and wet season access updates.
Biodiversity is the variety of life - the different plants, animals, insects and all other life forms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Kakadu's stunning biodiversity is internationally recognised in its listing as a World Heritage Area.
Throughout the year, Kakadu's landscapes undergo spectacular changes. Bininj/Mungguy recognise six different seasons, as well as subtle variations that signpost the transition from one season to another. This knowledge of nature is fundamental to the culture of Kakadu and its people. Bininj/Mungguy harvest food, care for the land and find shelter differently in each season
Generations of Bininj/Mungguy have lived on and cared for this country for tens of thousands of years. Art, Language, ceremonies, kinship and caring for country are all aspects of cultural responsibility that have passed from one generation to the next, from the Creation time.
Kakadu National Park
World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, covering more than 19,000 square kilometres, is a landscape of contrasts. Beneath waters dotted with lotus flowers, saltwater crocodiles lurk. Jagged peaks of towering escarpments hide pockets of monsoon rainforest. Waterfalls cascade into pools fringed with paperbarks, pandanus and cycads. You can view the spectacular Jim Jim Falls, browse through a gallery of ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr or Nourlangie Rock, or explore the scenic Yellow Water, a billabong teeming with wildlife. Around 1,000 plant species, a quarter of all Australian freshwater fish species, and over one third of Australian bird species can be found in the Park.
Must do:
Cruise the Yellow Water Billabong and spot birds, animals
