Kakadu National Park

 

Kakadu is an indigenous country. Our people have kept it alive for thousands of years. Today, we are working in partnership with Australian Parks to manage Kakadu, using a mix of traditional methods and modern science.

Since the late 1970s the traditional owners of Kakadu have leased their land to the Director of Administrative Areas for joint management as a national park. Integrated management is about Bininj / Mungguy and Australian Parks collaborating, problem solving, decision-making and knowledge, skills and knowledge.

Kakadu is a place of cultural life. It has been home to more than 65,000 people. Ours is the oldest living culture in the world.Connect with the oldest culture in the world. The amazing and distant beauty of Kakadu has stories to share that will take you out of the air and touch your heart.

In Australia's largest national park you will find ancient landscapes with spectacular waterfalls, lush forests, swampy swamps, exotic wildlife, and ancient rock art.Covering some 20,000 square miles [20,000 sq km], the Kakadu National Park is a World Heritage Site known for its cultural and natural values.

Kakadu is not only spectacular but you can also feel alive in the lush jungle, rocky ravines, pristine swimming pools and the world's oldest traditional rock art.

With more than 5,000 Aboriginal people in the park, the Bininj / Mungguy people have called home the Kakadu home for about 65,000 years. Here they will teach you about their ancient traditions and the wonderful times of the regions.
