Kakadu National Park

UNESCO World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park can be explored by car, on foot or by air.  If you are keen to explore on foot, many of the walks will reward you with views of magnificent waterfalls as well as spectacular lookouts over the National Park. You may decide to take to the skies and enjoy the view from above to really appreciate how vast Kakadu National Park is.

If you explore on foot, you will be able to get a close up look at some of the ancient rock art paintings that date back thousands of years.  These magnificent pieces of artwork tell the stories of the indigenous people who have lived here for thousands of years and form part of the reason UNESCO listed Kakadu National Park as a world heritage site.  Ubirr is home to a number of amazing rock art sites which are within easy walking distance or for something slightly more challenging, you could walk to the lookout for a spectacular view of the sunset or of the floodplains.

The eye-catching artwork gives you an insight into how such an ancient civilisation lived and continue to live within this remote and diverse part of Australia.  The Bininj and Mungguy traditional owners continue to live in various locations throughout Kakadu, some continuing to live in very remote areas, which are not easily accessible.
