About

Located 240 kilometres east of Darwin in Australia’s tropical north, Kakadu is one of the largest national parks in Australia. Kakadu covers almost 20,000 square kilometres and is a place of enormous ecological and biological diversity.

It extends from the coast and estuaries in the north through floodplains, billabongs and lowlands to rocky ridges and Stone Country in the south. These landscapes are home to a range of rare and endemic plants and animals, including more than one-third of Australia's bird species and one-quarter of its freshwater and estuarine fish species.
