Nowhere else in the world can you see the level of spiritual expression in rock art formation? Kakadu National Park's main features include its aboriginal heritage, wetlands, stunning lookouts and unique tropical wildlife. Kakadu Park is split into several areas including Jabiru. There are 4WD and boat tours of Kakadu available for visitors who can stay and explore the area for a longer period and experience the 'six seasons'. For other Kakadu tours, there are also short, memorable walking tours of Kakadu areas such as Bardedjilidji. Check out the amazing rock pools and plunge pools, waterfalls, wetlands, caves and gorges all on one of the many tours that you can organise to go on through this wonderful area.
Kakadu lies in the far North of Australia. If you started your travel somewhere in the South-East - like Sydney or Melbourne - you need to get up here first. The distances in Australia are huge, so the best option is to fly into Darwin, the laid back capital of the Northern Territory. Or you can travel by car if you have a few days up your sleeve, or jump on a bus to travel to the Top End. But whatever you do you must include Kakadu as part of your itinerary, because there are so many wonderful things to see and do, backpacking Kakadu is a must!
