Kakadu National Park | Places We Visit in Northern Australia
Kakadu is Aboriginal land, and the Bininj/Mungguy owners work hand-in-hand with Parks Australia to jointly manage it using traditional knowledge and modern science. Kakadu’s 5,000 rock art sites represent one of the longest historical records of any group of people in the world and feature naturalistic paintings of animals, traditional X-ray art, and depictions of the first European contact.
Kakadu contains stunning biodiversity, including 68 mammals (almost one-fifth of Australia’s mammals), more than 120 reptiles, 26 frogs, 300 tidal and freshwater fish species, some 2,000 plants and over 10,000 insect species.
