Walking With Children

I wonder as I wander. Children, especially younger children, have a sense of wonder that all too many of us lose as adults. Walking with children can help bring that back.

Depending on the level of experience, we have found that from around age 10-12, children can happily cope with our standard trips. Younger children need a slower pace and more time for breaks. Younger children can also bring a sense of wonder to things older people take for granted -- little things like insects, lizards, etc. We have, therefore, developed some special trips suited to younger children.

The two photos below show a young boy and a stick insect. Our family trips always allow plenty of time for experiences like this.

And there are the swims. Children of all ages -- and their parents -- enjoy the magic of Kakadu's many pools and the water which is warm enough to enjoy for as long as you want.

The images here give you a taste of what it might be like to do a Kakadu walk with your own children. If you'd like more information, please click one of the links below.

Most importantly, what do the children think of the trips? The smiles in the photos on this page tell most of the story. I'll leave it to an 8, almost 9, year old, to put it in words. She had amazing writing skills for someone so young. Here's what she wrote in our comments book at the end of our September 2009 Family Walk.
