Darwin and Kakadu have even more reason to celebrate as Darwin has been chosen to host the 3rd Asia Pacific Outgames in May 2014.

In addition, Australia has voted Kakadu National Park as its number one must-visit destination before you die! Around two hours’ drive from Darwin, Kakadu’s postcard-perfect escarpment carves through lush wetlands, savannah woodland and monsoon forest. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and the diversity of nature within the Park is astounding; waterfalls, gorges, water-lilied billabongs, paperbark forests and vast grasslands. Yet Kakadu isn’t just an icon for its environment. It is also home to a unique 50,000-year-old living culture, the Aboriginal (Bininj/Munguy) people and has one of the greatest concentrations of rock art anywhere in the world.

Gay Darwin is the gateway to Kakadu, serviced by the major domestic airlines from all capital cities It’s located just two hours drive east of Darwin. Covering an area of almost 20,000 square km’s, Kakadu is the largest National Park in Australia and one of the largest in the world!

You need 3-5 days to fully explore Kakadu; it’s NOT a day trip from Darwin!
Entry to the Park is free.

Kakadu is a landscape of contrasts. Beneath waters dotted with lotus flowers, saltwater crocodiles lurk. Jagged peaks of towering escarpments hide pockets of rainforest. Waterfalls cascade into pools fringed with paperbarks, pandanus and cycads. Travellers can view the spectacular Jim Jim Falls, browse though a gallery of ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr or Nourlangie Rock, or explore the scenic Yellow Water, a billabong teeming with wildlife.

As the catchment area for the South Alligator, East Alligator, Katherine, Roper and Daly Rivers, Kakadu is shaped by water. From November to May, waterfalls are at their most spectacular and the lowlands are flooded, attracting millions of migratory birds. The unique and diverse avian life in Kakadu includes jacanas, azure kingfishers, cuckoos, rufous owls, magpie geese, jabiru and more. Travellers planning to spend a night or more in Kakadu have several options, ranging from campsites to hotel accommodation.

Further east lies Arnhem Land, encompassing 91,000 square kilometres of unspoiled wilderness. This land harbours a rich and ancient culture and is home to many Aboriginal people, who often continue to practice their traditional way of life. The natural beauty of areas such as Oenpelli and Mt Borradaile, and the endless coastlines of the Gove and Cobourg Peninsulas, make venturing into Arnhem Land unforgettable. Travellers wanting to visit Arnhem Land need to apply for a permit from the Northern Land Council.
