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.

The hike to Motor Car Falls in Kakadu is 100% worth it!
Tucked away in the southern part of the park, this spot is one of Kakadu’s hidden gems. The walk in takes you through lush monsoon forest, and the plunge pool at the end is perfect for a swim. Peaceful, scenic, and pure magic.

Great news! Gunlom Falls now set to open Friday 4th July, 2025.

After trying to open back in May, Gunlom Falls is finally ready to welcome you from 4th July 2025 – fashionably late, thanks to a soggy surprise from Mother Nature and a cheeky saltwater croc! 🐊

Rangers have been working hard—fixing roads, clearing debris, and safely relocating the crocodile from the lower pool. The area is nearly ready for visitors. As always, Be Crocwise and drive safely on 4WD tracks. Kakadu Adventure Tours are available for those not self-driving.

Visiting Arnhem Land and Kakadu National Park is an unforgettable experience in Australia. Located in the Northern Territory, these regions are incredibly rich in Aboriginal culture. Kakadu is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its ancient rock art, vast wetlands, and diverse wildlife.

Arnhem Land, which requires a permit to visit, is still owned and managed by Indigenous communities. It offers a deep cultural connection and a chance to experience one of the most untouched landscapes in the country.

If you're interested in history, nature, and Indigenous culture, this part of Australia is truly special.

Cahills Crossing is one of Kakadu National Park’s most fascinating spots. This tidal crossing over the East Alligator River is known for its large population of saltwater crocodiles, which can often be seen lurking nearby, especially when the tide is high.

An important reminder to respect the wild and watch from a safe distance. 🐊
