About Kakadu & the World Heritage Wilderness
Kakadu National Park spans 19,804 square kilometres of rugged sandstone country in the Northern Territory's Top End. This is one of Australia's most significant cultural landscapes, home to Indigenous art sites spanning 20,000 years and diverse ecosystems ranging from tropical wetlands to escarpment woodlands. The park protects abundant wildlife, geological formations of global importance, and ongoing Aboriginal cultural practices.
Attractions & Things to See
The park contains multiple rock art galleries and lookouts that showcase both the landscape and cultural heritage.

Scenic viewpoints including Gunnwarrdehwarrdde Lookout, Nawurlandja Lookout, Mirrai Lookout, and Nadab Lookout provide panoramic views of the escarpments and wetlands. Yellow Water Billabong is a productive waterhole where you can observe crocodiles, birdlife, and other wildlife, while Main Gallery offers additional cultural insights into the park's Indigenous heritage.
