Nature's Way

This stunning triangular drive is 457 kilometres and begins (or ends) in Darwin, following the Arnhem Highway through the Adelaide and Mary River wetlands to World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. It then follows the Kakadu Highway before intersecting the Stuart Highway down to Katherine and Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge). For photographic, wildlife and birdwatching enthusiasts, this is a dream drive.

Kakadu is home to some of the world's oldest Aboriginal rock art galleries. It can be explored by car or on hundreds of kilometres of marked walking trails. Travellers can cruise the palm-fringed Yellow Water Billabong or the East Alligator River to see birds, animals and huge crocodiles.
