🎄 Make it a Kakadu Christmas 🌿

This Christmas, gather around the table at Mimi’s Restaurant at Cooinda Lodge for a festive feast inspired by the flavours and stories of Kakadu. Expect all the Christmas favourites, with a distinctly Australian twist.

🦐 Ocean-fresh seafood, including oysters, prawns and Moreton Bay bugs
🍖 Slow-roasted meats and shared platters, including wattleseed-rubbed beef sirloin, native apple-glazed ham and turkey with rosella glaze
🌿 Native-inspired sides featuring wattleseed, native rosemary and river mint
🥭 Tropical pavlova, native lime panna cotta and native red apple & rhubarb crumble
🧀 Australian cheeses, festive treats and plenty more to share

All enjoyed in the heart of Kakadu during Kunumeleng — the season of change and renewal.

Christmas lunch, Kakadu style.
Friday 25 December 2026 | 12pm–2pm
📍 Mimi’s Restaurant, Cooinda Lodge

Make this Christmas one to remember... on Country, surrounded by Kakadu. 💛

What does one have to do around here to get noticed? 👀🐊🦅

A croc? Check. Actually dozens!
A bird? Check. Actually hundreds!
An incredible wetland backdrop? Obviously.

Meanwhile, the wildlife of Yellow Water Billabong is just casually going about its day, completely unfazed by all the attention. Honestly, we’re not sure who’s the star of the show either. 🤷‍♀️

Who gets your vote? 👇
