Australia's second-largest national park, and one of the few places on Earth listed by UNESCO for both nature and culture — rock art up to 20,000 years old beside wetlands alive with wildlife.
At 19,804 km², Kakadu is Australia's second-largest national park, and one of the few places on the UNESCO World Heritage List for both cultural and natural significance. Its rock art sites — over 5,000 recorded, some up to 20,000 years old — sit alongside Ramsar-listed wetlands supporting over 280 bird species, 117 reptile species, and more than 10,000 insect species.
Much of the park is only accessible with 4WD, and conditions vary hugely between the wet and dry seasons — timing a visit matters more here than almost anywhere else on the list.
