: Access driving via the sealed Stuart Highway south from Darwin or north from Alice Springs. |
Where is Kakadu National Park Australia Down the highway around 35klm now from Darwin you see the Arnhem Highway on the left with a sign saying Humpty Doo and Jabiru. The first sight of interest along the highway is the didgeridoo workshop, actually at the beginning but it's on the right of the road. Humpty Doo, here is another fuel stop and the home to the Boxing Crocodile though it a great photo snap for the kids to be in it. It seems to be an obsession with Australian's to have the biggest icon's. Humpty Doo is a large sprawling country suburb of the outer Darwin region. Point of Interest on humpty Doo: Humpty Doo is a town some 10klm from the beginning of the Arnhem Highway with around 2829 residents on 5-20 acre farms with some 1006 households in the area. I mentioned this as Humpty Doo seemed to stretch along the highway quiet a bit. I forgot to mention Further out the properties are larger and mostly farmed as Mango Plantations. Can you imagine the aroma driving with the window down when there in season around October/November (there was a small crop at the beginning of September also). |
Kakadu National Park is one of Australia's most import parks for geopgraphic resources and study and our Aboriginal cutlural heritage.
