Kakadu National Park Tour
Australia’s tropical Top End is undoubtedly one of the last great secrets of adventure travel, although the popularity of the region is now growing rapidly as word spreads about its magnificent, unspoilt natural beauty. The term Top End refers to northern region of Australia’s Northern Territory, which includes the state capital city of Darwin and the town of Katherine. Darwin is serviced by many international airlines and also by the newly completed Ghan railway which connects southern Australian cities such as Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs in Central Australia.
Alice Springs to Darwin, Kakadu Tours – you can camp daily on this exciting overland trip which incorporates the Devils Marbles; Tennant Creek; Daly Waters; Mataranka Springs; Katherine Gorge; Litchfield National Park; Mary River Wetlands; Kakadu National Park; Jim Jim and Twin Falls. This is a fantastic adventure holiday.
With almost two million hectares of land that spans across the Northern tip of Australia, there is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of four major rivers that run through the park, trek through the floodplains and lowlands along with the Southern hills and basins where it would be possible to witness the hundreds of native wildlife species that includes over two hundred different birds and several dozen mammals.
Kakadu National Park is a World Heritage listed park located approximately 250km east of Darwin, and can be accessed via the Arnhem Highway from Darwin or the Kakadu Highway from Katherine. A return day trip from Darwin to Kakadu is possible, but in order to fully experience the magic of Kakadu a few days should be allowed. The name Kakadu, sometimes also spelt as Kakudju or Gagadju, is the name of the indigenous language spoken in the north western section of what is now Kakadu National Park.
View some of the most exquisite plant species that would be extinct if it were not for the protected land and the care of the ancient Aboriginal people who have lived within Kakadu for over fifty thousand years. With an unbelievably rich history and thousands of sacred Aboriginal historical sites that belong to the Bininj/Mungguy people who today, still reside within the park, there is a rare chance not only to learn about the native cultures, but also to see ancient art sites, like the famous Ubirr Rock Art site that include visitor tours throughout the year.
