Kakadu and Arnhem Land, Northern Territory
World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park is a place of rugged escarpments, lush wetlands and cascading waterfalls covering over 19,000 square kilometres. Kakadu is Australia's largest national park, and can be entered from Darwin on the Arnhem Highway or via Pine Creek on the Kakadu Highway.
The flora and fauna in Kakadu National Park is diverse. Pockets of monsoon rainforest, paperbark forests and wetlands are a haven for Kakadu's amazing wildlife including crocodiles, barramundi, and birdlife. 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. Kakadu National Park also contains many established walking tracks and camp grounds.
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. Cruises on Yellow Water depart daily. A visit to Kakadu is best started at the Bowali Visitors Centre near Jabiru or the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre near Cooinda.

Gunlom Falls ????- part of the Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory Australia
Travel to the Northern Territory most unique waterfall and endless plunge pool - Gunlom Falls. What a great day! Gunlom Falls is located in the Kakadu National Park, around 330 k from Darwin -and it was well worth the trip. While you are there make sure you enjoy the amazing Gunlom Falls infinity pool - its been carved out by nature over thousands of years. Gunlom Falls infinity pool is located at the top of the falls and is a challenging hike, but can be easily done. Once you get to the top the views are amazing and the water cool (temperature hit 37 deg when we were there) inside the infinity pool. Pack your picnic and eat on site (make sure you take your rubbish with you).
For a bit of fun we sent up the Phantom 3 Standard drone to truly capture the scenery - WOW!
We did try to get to Jim Jim falls but we ran out of time.
We also stopped at the entrance to the Kakadu National Park for a photo with the welcome sign - that was something we will treasure (we even snuck in a timelapse video as the sun was setting).

Can $200m save Kakadu National Park? [RDNews][Title]
It was Mick Dundee who put Kakadu on the world map and invited a generation of visitors. The Hollywood blockbuster showcased the best of the national park — a land that's home to the world's oldest continuous culture, dating back 65,000 years. And there were plenty of reasons for visitors to come
Kakadu National Park Australia, Nadab Lookout at Ubirr, amazing views across the floodplains.
I walk the track up to Nadab Lookout at Ubirr. The views from the Nadab Lookout are just amazing, looking out across the floodplains. Ubirr is approximately 40km from Jabiru along a good road. Ubirr is in the East Alligator region of Kakadu National Park, and is well know for its Aboriginal rock paintings or rock art site.
