KAKADU National Park

At 20 000 sq km (about the size of the state of New Jersey in the USA, about half the size of Switzerland in Europe), Kakadu is Australia's largest national park. It is also one of the few places in the world which has been declared a world heritage area for both natural and cultural reasons. Kakadu contains one of the world's greatest collections of prehistoric art, unique in representing the history of a still living culture. Many of Kakadu's birds, small animals and plants are found nowhere else.

The main photograph on the Kakadu World Heritage page above shows Jim Jim Falls in the wet season.
Willis's Walkabouts is the only tour operator who can take you to Jim Jim and Twin Falls in the Wet.

Most of the park can be reached only on foot. There are no marked, overnight walking tracks. Our trips take you into places like the escarpment country and the upper South Alligator Valley, far beyond where any vehicle can go. They let you experience the wilderness on its own terms.
