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.

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.
