Kakadu National Park Must-Sees

Kakadu National Park is a dual UNESCO World Heritage site spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometers of the Northern Territory. This collection highlights the park’s diverse landscapes, from the 200-meter drop of Jim Jim Falls to the wildlife-rich wetlands of Yellow Water. It includes significant Aboriginal rock art sites at Ubirr and Burrungkuy, where paintings date back thousands of years, and cultural centers that detail the 65,000-year history of the Bininj/Mungguy traditional owners.
