Read more about How the Crocodile Hunter & His ‘English Rose’ Pio…

Kakadu’s modern tourism origins owe a vast amount to former Crocodile Hunter, Tom Opitz, and his ‘English Rose’ wife, Judy Opitz, who opened a store on the banks of Jim Jim Creek in 1964.

Did you know Kakadu National Park has over 10,000 crocodiles living in its wetlands, billabongs and rivers? 🐊 Seeing a croc in the wild is one of the Top End’s most unforgettable experiences!

👉 There are two types of crocodiles in Kakadu:
#1 - Saltwater crocodiles ("salties") – powerful apex predators, growing over 5 metres long and found in most waterways.
#2 - Freshwater crocodiles – smaller and more timid than salties. They rarely pose a threat to humans, but it’s always important to give them space and respect.

⚠️ Croc safety tip: Always heed warning signs, swim only in designated safe areas, and never assume a waterhole or river is croc-free.

Jim Jim Falls is one of Kakadu National Park’s most spectacular natural wonders!
Towering cliffs frame this dramatic waterfall, which plunges into a stunning pool at the base of the escarpment. Accessible via a 4WD track and walking trail, Jim Jim Falls is best visited in the dry season when the water cascades in all its glory. Surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs and lush forest, it’s a must-see destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers exploring the Top End. 💦🥾
