247 km

After collecting the vehicle and driving east out of Darwin turn left on to the

Arnhem Highway and head for the Kakadu National Park. Suggest a stop at

Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre, and then perhaps Adelaide River for an

optional Jumping Crocodile cruise. The scenery on the way is dramatic and

colourful with bird life, wet lands and high escarpments. A visit to the Bowali

Visitor Centre is a must to learn more about this unique environment.

Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre. Other sights to see today include a visit to

Nourlangie Rock and Ubirr Rock, or an optional scenic flight. Aboriginal rock art

in this area is very well preserved and accessible. It's worth taking a guided tour
