ENTERING KAKADU
Assuming an approach from the north-west
via the Arnhem Highway, a few stops along
the way are worthwhile as the birdlife is
astonishing, particularly at the Fogg Dam
Conservation Area.
The Aurora Kakadu Resort is the first caravan
park/hotel after entering the park, offering the
lovely Gungarre Walk and also access to
nearby Mamukala Wetlands in the South
Alligator River region.
However, for closer access to both the Jabiru
and East Alligator River regions, the Kakadu
Lodge & Caravan Park is a perfect base camp
in Jabiru. There is also the Anbinik Kakadu
Resort; however, with only 15 caravan sites,
you must book early and most certainly before
you arrive.
The Bowali Visitor Centre is a must: if you
want any information on the park, this is the
place to go.
South Alligator River
If you do opt to stay in Jabiru, make sure you
take a ride back to the Mamukala Wetlands.
