Kakadu springs to life with the magic of the rejuvenating wet season
Media Release - October 23, 2008
The largest national park in Australia, Kakadu, is located 257km east of Darwin, covering a vast area of over 20,000 square kilometres. An incredible landscape of contrasts, visitors discover and explore roaring waterfalls cascading into serene pools, rocky escarpments and delicate lotus flowers that conceal hidden crocodiles. Nature and wildlife abound in this area, which is known for its level of amazing biodiversity and is full of hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered.
Offering something for everyone, Kakadu contains one of the highest concentrated areas of Aboriginal rock art sites in the world as well as a bird watchers paradise, home to several species endemic only to this region. Literally millions of magpie geese inhabit the wetlands of the north and to witness this amazing spectacle is not to be missed.
During the summer months when crowds flock to the beach, the cricket and various Christmas events, the secrets of Kakadu reveal themselves to the adventurous and experiential traveller, avoiding the crowds and presenting the opportunity to see the amazing Kakadu come to life right before them. Between November and March, Kakadu springs into action as the floodplains and waterfalls swell with rain and the flooded wetlands flourish with nature.
