Kakadu has been on our ‘bucket list’ for many years, we thought what better way to begin summer holidays than to escape the cold weather and head to the Top End of Australia.
Its coming into that wonderful time of the season when major attractions are opening!
My wife and I visited Kakadu in January 2013, this was our third time there in the past three years.
We set off early afternoon from Gagudju Lodge Cooinda heading towards Gubara in search of the famous Leichhardt’s grasshopper that we had heard so much about!
Waking up in the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn was a different experience this Christmas! The pillow menu made it hard for me to make it down to for breakfast!
Join Kakadu Bird Week 2025, from 24–28 September, as tens of thousands of magpie geese flood the wetlands at the end of the dry season. They gather at billabongs like Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba) to feed, creating one of nature’s most spectacular gatherings as water levels fall.
With Kakadu home to over one‑third of Australia’s bird species, it's the perfect time to spot everything from brolgas and jabirus to comb‑crested jacanas.
Perfect for: bird lovers, photographers, cultural explorers, and anyone wanting a front-row seat to Kakadu’s wildlife spectacle. Set your binoculars and spirits high! See our website for more information - link in bio.

Up here at Gunlom Falls, it’s not just a swim, it’s a moment. Perched above the ancient stone country of Kakadu, this natural infinity pool serves up one of the most jaw-dropping views in the Top End. Cool water, red cliffs, endless skies... it’s the kind of place that makes you stop and stay a little longer.
