KAKADU

Kakadu’s Aboriginal traditional owners the Bininj/Munggary welcome you.

Whatever time of year you visit the Kakadu world heritage listed national park, there is spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.

Landscapes at Kakadu undergo spectacular changes during the year. Wet season rains revitalise Kakadu’s harsh landscape, flooding waterways, and forming waterfalls.

In the dry season, creeks and floodplains dry up and wildlife becomes concentrated on permanent wetlands – a good time to see crocodiles, birds and other wildlife.

Aboriginal people have lived here for thousands of years. Rock art, housed in the sandstone formations is one of the longest historical records of people in the world.
Bininj/Mungguy recognise six different seasons. This intimate knowledge of nature is interwoven into their culture of Kakadu.

Estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles are dangerous and inhabit Kakadu's floodplains, billabongs, waterways and coast. The only safe places to swim are swimming pools.

Ranger Guided Walks and Talks
During the dry season visitors can join rangers for free activities throughout Kakadu with daily art site talks, walks, cultural activities and slide shows at night.
