Kakadu National Park World Heritage Site

The name 'Kakadu' comes from an Aboriginal floodplain language called Gagudju.
Kakadu National Park changes dramatically with the seasons and one visit just is not enough! The local Bininj people interpret 6 different seasons. Their year starts with the scent of blossoming paperbarks, overflowing into thundering waterfalls and dazzling lightning displays, then trickling into billabongs filled with magpie geese and waterbirds.

Darwin Northern Territory

Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin is the least populous of all Australia's capital cities and acts as the Top End's regional centre. Having been almost entirely rebuilt twice, once due to Japanese air raids during World War II and again after being devastated by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, the region, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet season and a dry season. It is well known for its spectacular lightning. The original inhabitants of the greater Darwin area are the Larrakia people.
