Experience Kakadu
Kakadu is often mentioned as number one on the travel bucket-list for many Australians.
Kakadu is less than three hours' drive from Darwin, with fully-sealed roads making travel to and within Kakadu National Park easy, though 4WD vehicles are recommended to ensure visitors can enjoy the full Crocodile Dundee experience.
Ubirr is the rock formation in Kakadu National Park where Mick Dundee climbs to the top, points towards the horizon, and says "This is my backyard, and over there is the Never Never" while the movie camera pans across the flood plain.
Ubirr's rock-art galleries contain a remarkable panoramic sweep of history with drawings ranging from the thylacine to the arrival of Europeans.
The best time to visit is sunset, when a rich palette of colours lights up the rock outcrops and the vast Nadab Plain below.
