Introduction to Kakadu National Park
Kakadu National Park is located in the Alligator Rivers area of Australia's Northern Territory, covering an area of 4894000 acres, stretching 200km from the north to the south and about 100km from the east to the west, very broad oh!
Kakadu is derived from the mispronunciation of "Gagadju," a native language widely used in the northern part of the National Park. Indigenous people have lived in Kakadu National Park for at least 40,000 years, with countless valuable indigenous cultures. Known for its indigenous rock murals, Kakadu National Park was inscribed on the World Heritage list in 1981, including hunting, religious rituals, legends of forefathers, knowledge of later generations, magic and magic. So far, there are only about 500 aborigines living in it, and hey, it's the best place to use it. Kakadu is rich in plant and animal diversity. There are more than 1700 plant species, 60 mammal species, 117 reptile species, 2 alligators and saltwater alligators, 25 frog species, 53 species of freshwater fish and more than 10000 species of insects, many of which are endangered.
The national park is divided into seven areas: South Alligator area, Jabiru area, East Alligator area, Nourlangie area, Yellow Water area, Jim Falls and Twin Falls Gorge area and Mary River area.
Suitable travel season
The annual April-October period is the best time to travel to Kakadu. Of course you can go during the rainy season, but usually only the Nourlangie and Yellow Water areas are open all the year round, while other scenic spots, such as Jim Falls and Twin Falls Gorge, are closed due to flooded roads during the rainy season. If the rainy season wants to see these areas, there is only one way, that is, sightseeing straight! L! Machine! Hey hey, Tuhao at will.
entrance ticket
In domestic travel, a mention of tickets, the bottom of the heart will surge up a faint sadness, every time is washed off the neck was slaughtered the feeling! However, in Australia, do not have to sad, many scenic spots are not charged tickets, such as the spectacular Ocean Road, Western Australia shock wave rock and so on! Even if it is collected, it is symbolic. When I went, the 14-day pass to this famous Kakadu National Park was only 25 Australian dollars, but the 14-day pass!
Hotel selection
Kakadu National Park is a relatively difficult place to eat and board, so don't be too picky. For me, as long as the scenery is beautiful, unique enough, ha, the rest is small, after all, the scenery can make up for all the unsatisfactory accommodation.

Kakadu Travel in particula
1. Not all areas of the park are open to visitors.
2. Kakadu has vast territory, no cell phone signal, and many areas of the national park are dirt roads, difficult to identify the direction. Oh, if not very familiar with the local words (especially tourists, tourists! The important thing to say three times!), strongly recommend with the tour group tour. Otherwise, it's likely to be left in there and nobody knows. When a tourist in Kakadu, was lost, it was not uncommon to find the remains a month later.
3.Kakadu National Park is 171 kilometers south-east of Darwin, and the safest thing to worry about is to travel from Darwin to Kakadu.. There are a lot of tours in Darwin, so it is recommended that you visit http://www.ntstandby.com.au, to compare the prices, specific itineraries and book tours directly on the site. Of course, Darwin's hotels and Darwin CBD's main Street also have a lot of travel agencies who can book them directly on the spot. However, remind you to book ahead of time, or you may not have a tour a week from now.
4. Kakadu area is vast, some people in the inside play for a few months still unfinished. It is suggested that you schedule your schedule according to your own time. It only takes at least two days. A day's itinerary simply does not see the essence of this national park.
5. Don't take too heavy and cumbersome photographic equipment. Climbing in some parts of the national park is dangerous. Carrying these devices can not only damage them, but also affect your climbing operations and even put them at risk.
6. We must bring enough water. If it is self-driving, then there must be enough mineral water in the car. Darwin supermarket to buy enough drinking water, not afraid to buy more, afraid not enough ha. If it is with a group, then bring water bottles, usually on the coach will provide drinking water.
7. In the Northern Territory, each pool, no matter how many small pools it is, check carefully for alligator warning signs at the edge of the pool before approaching. The logo is recognizable and is painted as a crocodile self-portrait. If you warn of danger, don't go any closer to the pool. Don't look at the size of the crocodile, preying on prey is still very agile, it picked it up, you can't escape.
8. Finally remind civilization to travel oh. If you want to take pictures of the aborigines, you must ask your consent. Indigenous people have their own rules, and some tribes are taboo to be photographed. Also, if you go to visit indigenous museums and so on, it is clear that no photos will be taken, then please observe the rules and regulations. I think it is very important to respect the habits and traditions of the local people first and foremost to travel anywhere.
The Yellow River tour in the National Park can see a lot of wildlife, you can't miss it.
