Description

Anbangbang Rock Shelter, located in Kakadu National Park, is a magical attraction known for its stunning rock formations and Indigenous art.

It is home to some of the most recent Indigenous rock drawings, including works by Najombolmi of the Bardmardi people. Visitors are captivated by the majestic rock formation and the millennia-old art.

One of the highlights of Kakadu National Park is the opportunity to spot saltwater crocodiles on the Yellow Water Billabong. Visitors can take a billabong cruise in the morning to observe these giant creatures in their natural habitat. The cruise also provides insights into the park's other wildlife and offers a safe way to experience the park's apex predator.

For a refreshing experience, visitors can take a short hike to the Gunlom plunge pool. Situated high up on the Kakadu escarpment, this pool offers a breathtaking view of the park and is perfect for a dip. After the hike, a refreshing swim in the pool is a great way to cool off.

Another must-visit destination within Kakadu is the Koolpin Gorge. This serene and less crowded area requires a permit to access, as it is an important environmental and Indigenous location. During this time, the weather is cooler and there is less rainfall, resulting in less impressive waterfalls.

To reach Kakadu National Park, visitors can fly into Darwin International Airport and drive for about three hours to reach the park. Alternatively, there are coach operators that offer tours of the national park
