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!
