In partnership with Ben Tyler from @kakadukitchen_australia we are extremely delighted to be the recipient of the Brolga Northern Territory Tourism Awards "Excellence in Food Tourism" award for our Dird Full Moon Dinner. 🙏🏼

We're heading into our Tropical Summer up here in the Territory, and it's the perfect time to take to the skies to see Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Soar over Kakadu, one of the largest national parks in Australia, follow the snaking rivers, and look down on the ancient stone escarpments.

A scenic flight is a truly unforgettable way to experience this immense, untouched landscape.

Looking for a little luxury when you visit Kakadu? Take a look at the Yellow Water Villas at @cooindalodgekakadu 🤩

Nestled under a rich canopy of trees, each of the Yellow Water Villas balances luxury with a commitment to environmental sustainability. They are built on stilts to minimise impact on the land, as the preservation of country is a key priority of Murumburr Traditional Owners.

A re-imagination of the tactile textures and resilient nature of the vast billabong landscape is captured throughout the interiors, with raw materials – reclaimed native timbers, earthen clay, ageing brass and woven plant-dyed grass fibres.

Each of the five luxury villas have a bathtub on the large veranda outside, with a completely air-conditioned interior. The ensuite bathroom, dining area and lounge area with daybeds make our villas the perfectly comfortable base for your Kakadu adventure.

🐊The crocodile - They are fearsome hunters, able to plane along the water surface at high speed with the help of their thrashing tail. The muscular tail propels their body out of the water to lunge at prey in a surprise attack, which is usually deadly.

And as you can see in these videos, they also spend a lot of time warming up in the sun or keeping cool in shade or the water. Before booking a cruise, ask your guide the best time of day to see crocs, as it can vary from week to week and the season.

And always, be croc wise!
