Around 1,000 different plant species, a quarter of all Australian freshwater fish species, and over one-third of Australian bird species can be found in the park.
Kakadu National Park is managed jointly by Parks Australia, an Australian government body, and the park's traditional Aboriginal owners. A number of Aboriginal clans still reside within the park. Kakadu is home to one of the largest concentrations of Aboriginal rock art in the world with galleries at sites like Ubirr and Burrungui / Nourlangie Rock. Other spectacular landmarks include Jim Jim Falls, Twin Falls, Maguk / Barramundie Gorge, Jarrangbarnmi / Koolpin Gorge and Gunlom / Waterfall Creek.

At the centre of the park is the small mining township of Jabiru, which offers a range of services and accommodation. Another settlement, Cooinda, also offers accommodation, and is located on the banks of Yellow Water, a billabong teeming with migratory birds, saltwater crocodiles and other wildlife.

Kakadu National Park City Video Guide | Expedia
Kakadu National Park is 150 miles east of Darwin, in a region Australian’s fondly call, “The Top End.” World Heritage Listed, Kakadu, is almost half the size of Switzerland and is a geological, biological, and cultural wonderland.
The park is open year-round, but most visitors come from May to October, when most of the park’s roads are open. You’ll need to set aside a few days to fully explore Kakadu, and once there, the best way to experience the park is by off-road vehicle and on foot. The park has around 25 marked trails, from short walks to multi day hikes.
Two of the most popular walks include Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls. Here, at the end of forested gorges, are the sorts of places many dream about, but few will ever see. Another great place to cool off is Gunlom Falls, which offers crystal-clear swimming holes and views all the way to far-off Arnhem Land.
Kakadu is dotted with thousands of art sites, with some ancient galleries featuring paintings dating back over 20,000 years. The galleries at Nourlangie Rock and Ubirr are two of the most visited and feature incredibly well-preserved paintings depicting traditional legends and day-to-day life.
Take a cruise through the Yellow Water Billabong, and spot Jabiru, Magpie Geese and salt and fresh water crocodiles. Then finish your visit on a high by taking a chartered flight over the park for views you’ll remember forever.
Aboriginal Art in the Northern Territory
Aboriginal Art in Australia's Northern Territory
The Top End of Australia's Northern Territory is home to a wealth of Aboriginal art that reflects the spirit of the people and the intense connection they have with the land. From ancient dot paintings derived from drawings in the desert sand through to more contemporary bark paintings, each piece offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Aboriginal people and the Dreamtime stories of the world's oldest living culture thought to be more than 50,000 years old.
Aboriginal artwork was traditionally used as a teaching tool to pass on knowledge regarding ownership, responsibilities, beliefs and practices. It revealed a range of ancestral stories that had been passed down through generations, explaining connections with the land, tribal customs and traditional law. Today Aboriginal art has firmly made its way onto the international indigenous art scene.
Referred as the Dreamtime, these stories are the gateway to understanding the rich history and beliefs of the Aboriginal people.
Exploring Aboriginal art in the Territorys Top End will take you across wetlands and billabongs, along spectacular sandstone escarpments to the woodland savannah country.
Take up the trail in Darwin and see the stunning collections at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory before browsing the numerous galleries.
Home to various Aboriginal language groups for more than 40,000 years, Kakadu National Park houses one of the world's largest collections of Aboriginal rock art. The art sites were integral to Kakadu achieving its World Heritage status. A visit is best started at the Bowali Cultural Centre near Jabiru or the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre near Cooinda.
Arnhem Land, one of the largest Aboriginal Reserves in Australia, is a region also rich with Aboriginal culture and art. This remote region features several world renowned Aboriginal art centre including Injalak Arts, Maningrida Arts and Buku Larrngay Mulka at Yirrkala. All offer opportunities to meet artists who create unique pandanus mats and baskets, bark paintings and distinctive carvings while experiencing their unique community lifestyle.
Whether visiting the world-class galleries of Darwin; the renowned rock art sites in the National Parks or seeing the remote Aboriginal communities of Arnhem Land and Tiwi Islands, each trip will represent a unique and exciting experience.
Natura e arte aborigena nel TOP END: dalle Wetlands al Kakadu #Australia2love 04
Australia 2 love è un documentario / reportage che racconta il viaggio di un mese attraverso gli Stati australiani, realizzato da Fabrizio e Silvia, alla scoperta di fauna, flora, grandi spazi, città, parchi, curiosità, storia e cultura del continente down under.
Da Darwin inizia la percorrenza in automobile del Top End, ossia la porzione settentrionale del Northern Territory, ricca di aree naturali, parchi, riserve e terre aborigene.
Queste zone sono soggette all'innalzamento delle acque nel periodo umido, da cui la denominazione terre umide (wetlands), di contro nel periodo secco sono aride e suscettibili al pericolo di incendio. Qui si trovano alcuni tra i più importanti siti di arte rupestre aborigena, come Ubirr, all'interno del vasto Parco Nazionale Kakadu.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

In the morning we headed towards the Alligator river cruise and stopped in at Warradjan Aboriginal culture centre along the way. One of the young blokes was cooking up some long neck turtle they caught the day before. The lady was cooking up some yams and was showing how to do basket weaving.
