World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park, covering almost 20,000 km, is a place of contrasting landscapes and diverse habitats. Saltwater crocodiles lurk in freshwater billabongs studded with lotus lilies. Rugged cliffs of the Arnhem Land escarpment hide deep sandstone gorges and pockets of monsoon rainforest. Waterfalls cascade into pools fringed with paperbarks and pandanus.Kakadu’s Aboriginal owners are happy and proud to share this special place with you. Come and discover our World Heritage culture and natural landscapes in Australia’s largest national park. Experience Kakadu’s rich 65,000 year old culture by joining a ranger guided walk through ancient rock art galleries where Dreaming ancestors, Rainbow Serpent and Namarrgon (Lightning Man), are etched into walls. Indigenous guides share traditional stores while you try your hand at weaving and painting. Learn about Indigenous history and kinship at Warradjan Cultural Centre. Discover traditional uses for plants and animals and bush survival skills.

Fall in love with nature as you climb looming escarpments and swim in tropical waterholes. Glide over the wetlands on a sunrise cruise, soar above the landscape on a stunning scenic flight and join in at special and annual events held within the park.There are spectacular fishing spots and vast wetlands and billabongs for boating and great sites to spot some crocs!

Maguk Gorge, a true#Kakadu beauty ?? A short and easy walk takes you down towards the beautiful natural plunge pool filled with little fish and a stunning waterfall. #Maguk is quieter than the other waterfalls, and we can guarantee you've never experienced something quite like it ??? #DoKakadu #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia Photo by: @ryanzwebber

7. Graveside Gorge, Kakadu National Park, NT

 

I heard it's #WaterfallWednesday so here's a little throwback to the ominously yet appropriately named Graveside Gorge. Located in World Heritage listed #KakaduNationalPark, this one's for the die-hard waterfallers. If you can deal with a long drive, followed by some bush bashing, followed by some hiking with your camping gear, followed by a very long walk on an unmarked trail through rugged terrain under the hot NT sun, you deserve the dreamy, lush, heavenly, stunning oasis that awaits you at the end. And the best part? There will be sweet FA people there ✊? ❤ . . . #getoutside #thelocaltourist #mybackyard #NTaustralia #seeaustralia #topendnt #mytopend #outbackaustralia #capricornnorthaus #ig_australia #ig_down_under #ausbestlocations #happyplace #truelove #adventuring #exploring #traveloutbackaus #nature #igersdarwin #NTlife #takemetoaustralia #exploringaustralia #ig_discover_australia #weareexplorers #CUintheNT #paradise #hiking #travel @adventureblokes @seekakadu
