About Kakadu National Park
The Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory is often very high on the list of must do’s for both international and Australian travellers alike. As the tourism Australia campaign says ‘there is nothing like Australia’ there really is nothing like the Kakadu National Park and its diversity both natural and cultural is unmatched, so much so that it is one of only a handful of national parks in the world that is heritage listed for both its natural and cultural attributes and significance. The Kakadu National park covers nearly 5 million acres and is jointly managed by the director of national parks and the aboriginal people who have inhabited the area for over 40000 years. Seasons play a big role in the ecosystem of the area. The monsoon season or Gudjewg as it is known to the aboriginal people runs from December to March and it lives up to its name and is very wet and humid. The drastic change of conditions creates an explosion of natural life with the plant life thriving on the heavy rains. From April and May right through to 
December the seasons make way for the abundance of wildlife and plant life to come out and put on show the beauty of the eco system. The climate get cooler and towards the middle to the end of the year the creek beds start to dry out ready for the cycle to begin again.
