Four nights in Kakadu NP can only touch the surface. The park such a big place and other than the tourist ‘resorts’ there are heaps of well establish NP camping areas. In our four nights we covered the main sights in Kakadu. On the first morning we visited Barramundi Falls. It was a nice easy…
On the way to Kakadu you pass the Mary River NP and we camped at the ‘Mary River Wilderness Retreat’, which is right on the river and a nice place to stay. It was relatively busy with some family groups that come out from Darwin and camp for the weekend. It’s only about 90 minutes…

The worst part was the last 60km from Harts Range to…
