Darwin is the territorial capital and most populous city of the Northern Territory. Major tourist attratcion is the Kakadu National Park 171 km east of Darwin. The park
has two seasons, 'wet' and 'dry'. In the wet (October to April) many of the attractions are impossible to get to so that the dry season (May to September) is the peak period for visitors. The wetlands provide the greatest visual pleasure. The freshwater and estaurine (saltwater) crocodiles sleep
on the banks of the Alligator Rivers or the many bilabongs for most of the day but can also be seen floating or swimming in the water. |
