World Tour eXperience – Australia

Australia | Aboriginal Rockpainting

Kakadu NP is more than 250 km’s east of Darwin. It’s a dead-end road, so to visit the park we cycled 500 km’s. We got as far as Oenpelli. Going further east is aboriginal land which entered by permit. We visited the park in late september. We temperature and humidity were slowely building op towards the rainy season. A minor downpour (thats wat the locals said) one night almost washed away our tent. Temperatures seldom came below 30 C. The facilities in the park are limited but at the miningtown of Jabiru there is a large supermarket. Dirt road can be very soft and/or heavily corrugated. An advantage of visiting in that time of the year was that there were almost no visitors. We had campsites for ourselves and visited the famous aboriginal paintings with only a small group of other visiters.
