It is the tapestry of great ecosystems that creates the beauty of Kakadu. Sandstone escarpments shaped by an
incomprehensible time span; monsoon forests and flood plains; great rivers journey serpentine to the sea;
stunningly beautiful billabongs and lagoons are richly clad in a profusion of colour by glorious water lilies and edged by pandanas and paper bark trees; birds of every size, every hue and every song; fearsome crocodiles on the mudslides of billabongs; Aboriginal artwork painted on rock cave walls. This place is creation in its wonderful diversity... This place is Kakadu.
