Kakadu National Park is an enormous, biodiverse nature reserve in the Northern Territory of Australia. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it features dramatic sandstone escarpments, lush wetlands, waterfalls like Jim Jim Falls, and exceptionally rich Aboriginal rock art sites dating back tens of thousands of years.
Visit to see the ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr and Nourlangie, cruise the Yellow Water Billabong to spot giant saltwater crocodiles, and swim in pools below towering waterfalls.
