KAKADU CALLS
The secret to discovering Kakadu is to take your time, to which many who have heeded Kakadu’s call will attest. This was the case for us in July 2021, when our leisurely journey took us through Katherine, then Edith Falls on the outskirts of Katherine, in Nitmiluk National Park, before arriving at Kakadu, the largest national park in Australia.
It was the dry season, which generally runs through until late September, when the waterfalls in Kakadu stop flowing, but that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of vistas. Our first stop in Kakadu National Park was the Bowali Visitor Centre to pick up a Top End booklet and become familiar with all areas of the park before setting off on our Kakadu adventure.
