“Teaching children about the natural world should be treated as one of the most important events in their lives.”

Thomas Berry

Kakadu National Park is on a lot of bucket lists all over the world and we are lucky enough to tour this spectacular part of the world and take you with us. 

At almost 20,000 square kilometres (thats almost half the size of Switzerland), Kakadu has been home to the oldest culture on earth, dating back some 65,000 years ago. 

Kakadu National Park is listed at as dual World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its outstanding cultural and natural properties. 

 

Kakadu’s incredible rock art provides a window into human civilisation in the days before the last ice age. Revealing insights into hunting and gathering practices, social structure and ritual ceremonies of Aboriginal societies.

We have the privilege to walk within these exceptional sites and appreciate how life may have been without the hustle, bustle and noise of current society, without technology and the constant flow of information from external sources. Providing us with an understanding of their ‘connection to country’, meaning connection to the land, flora, fauna, seasons and each other.

And there’s the waterfalls!

Kakadu is home to magnificent towering waterfalls. There is nothing better than a refreshing swim in fresh water with natures background. 

They’re not just tremendous in variety, from the towering Jim Jim  to secluded cascades amid monsoon forests, but capture Kakadu’s dramatic seasonal change.
