Kakadu National Park – Wetlands & Aboriginal Rock Art World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park is three hours drive from Darwin. As with any adventure travel, it is important to allow plenty of time en-route to stop and visit the many, billabongs, wetlands, termite mounds and see the amazing array of Top End bird life along the way. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia covering almost 20,000 sq km, and contains one of the highest concentrated areas of Aboriginal Rock Art sites and wetlands in the world, some of the art sites dating back 50,000 years. The most famous sites are Burrunggui (Nourlangie Rock) and Ubirr, which most of our tours visit. Kakadu also boasts a number of picturesque waterholes perfect for swimming in and cooling down on a warm day in the outback. Maguk, in the southern region of Kakadu, is a magical combination of waterfall and serene plunge pool shaded by native gums and paperbark trees. The landscape provides all the ingredients for an Aussie outback adventure holiday, from rugged gorges and escarpments to pristine wetlands which provide a habitat for 1600 plant species and a home for over 200 species of birdlife. Enjoy wetland cruises, such as the Yellow Waters Billabong Cruise, with beautiful paperbark forests and the odd resident crocodile, or for those wanting to get away from the crowds, we offer lunchtime cruises on the Corroboree Billabong just outside the boundary of Kakadu! So if its nature, Aboriginal Culture and amazing views of the sandstone escarpment country you wish to discover you have come to the right place. Brookes Australia Tours guides will go out of their way to show you this ancient land away from the larger tour bus operators. .
