Kakadu is set to undergo major upgrades of its tourism infrastructure and resources, with access to major attractions enhanced, refurbishments to tourism facilities completed, and a new format announced for the region’s showcase culinary festival.
Kakadu National Park has just experienced one of its rainiest wet seasons in a decade, replenishing the region’s landscape and ensuring a memorable tourism experience for visitors during the forthcoming dry seasons, known to the local Indigenous people as Yekke (from May to June) and Wurrkeng (from June to the end of August).

As the Top End heads in to the wet season, Kakadu National Park is gearing up for the rejuvenation of the park.
As soon as the rains allow, work will commence on raising the Jim Jim Creek Crossing by 0.75 metres to enable safe access to Twin Falls.
The build, estimated to take four to six weeks has received formal consent by the relevant Traditional Owners as nominated by the Northern Land Council, along with formal approval from the Kakadu Board of Management, and certification received from the NT Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority.
