Kakadu National Park is a vast park the size of Israel in the Northern Territory, Australia, east of Darwin. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Kakadu supports a huge variety of flora and fauna, many species of which are rare or endemic.

Historically, Kakadu was the home of Aboriginal people, and much of the current NP is Aboriginal land. The area is also rich in Aboriginal rock art, with over 5,000 sites found.

Getting There

By Car

If you're coming from Darwin, the most direct route is via the Arnhem Highway, which leads straight into the northern part of the park. Alternatively, it is also possible to drive into the park along the Kakadu Highway, which intersects with the Stuart Highway at Pine Creek. This is a more convenient option if you're coming from Katherine or other towns further south in the Northern Territory.
