Kakadu National Park World Heritage listed Kakadoo National Park is one of Australia's most prized cultural and ecological treasures. The 20,000sq kms is 250kms south of Darwin. The name Kakadu is from the Gagudju speaking people. The shelters, stone tools, grindstones and ochre indicate that the Aboriginal people have lived in the vicinity now defined by the national park for over 50,000 years.	Our hotel the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn is shaped in the form of a crocodile
Ubirr Ubirr has many fine examples of Aboriginal rock paintings with sweeping panoramic views over the surrounding Kakadu wetlands.
	As the late afternoon sun started to wane we had the opportunity to see the sunset over the wetlands

	Nourlangie Rock On our second day in the park we travelled to Nourlangie to see the ancient Aboriginal shelter, several outstanding displays of rock art and some impressive views over the Kakadoo Escarpment and Nourlangie Rock
the fire to the right of the rock is a constant part of the park. A third of Kakadu is purposely burnt each year to promote growth
a bit of shade is welcome
