Walks in the park
A number of marked paths allow you to explore Kakadu National Park. There are a number of different walking trails marked throughout Kakadu National Park, ranging from short and easy to more challenging all-day bushwalks.
Walking is good. You follow track
you sleep, wake in morning to birds,
maybe kookaburra. You feel country.
