Kakadu National Park's Photos (Randomly from Flick

This National Park situated about 250 kilometres from Darwin is an Australian icon and one of the most visited National Parks in Australia. It is renowned for its diverse World Heritage-listed environment from amazing waterfalls to beautiful Aboriginal rock art. The wildlife is rich and numerous from crocodiles, birds and kangaroos.

[Edit] Destination Info

It is believed that 140 million years ago, much of Kakadu was under a shallow sea. Today there is an escarpment that rises to up to 330 metres above the plains of Kakadu. The name 'Kakadu' comes from an aboriginal floodplain language called Gagudju which was one of the languages spoken in the north of the park at the beginning of the twentieth century. Gagudju is no longer regularly spoken but descendants of this language group are still living in Kakadu.
