Kakadu National Park, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering an area of 19,804 km², about half the size of the Netherlands. Established in 1981, the park is named after the Kakadu people and is known for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.
It is home to unique ecosystems, from wetlands and rainforests to savannahs, with over 2,000 plant species, 280 bird species and iconic animals such as crocodiles and kangaroos.
Aboriginal culture, particularly that of the Bininj/Mungguy, is prominent with rock art dating back 20,000 years, such as at Ubirr and Nourlangie.
The park offers activities such as hiking, boat trips and cultural tours, but visitors should be aware of the tropical climate (dry season: May-October; rainy season: November-April).
Kakadu is one of Australia's largest nature reserves and a top destination for nature and culture lovers.
