Wetlands, crocodiles and ancient rock art
Kakadu, in the Top End of the Northern Territory, is one of Australia's largest national parks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both its nature and its culture. Aboriginal people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, and rock art galleries at Ubirr and Nourlangie record animals, spirits and early contact with Europeans. Boat cruises on the Yellow Water billabong pass saltwater crocodiles and flocks of birds, and in the dry season roads open to the plunge pools and falls of Jim Jim and Twin Falls.
