Help I am lost

Great place

World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, in the Top End, is Australia's Largest National Park and one of the world's most spectacular wilderness areas. Covering more than 19,840 square kilometers, Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and the second largest in the world. Within its borders lie monsoon rainforests, mangrove swamps, rivers, gorges, ancient rock paintings, wetlands, and waterfalls, as well as an astounding diversity of wildlife. On the north coast lies the tidal zone, with river estuaries, mangrove swamps, and tall monsoon rain forests. Inland are the flood plains through which rivers pursue a winding course to the sea. The escarpment of the Arnhem Land plateau runs diagonally through the park from southwest to northeast. After heavy rain, water pours over its bare rocks and down the escarpment in magnificent waterfalls- Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls are two of the most famous. Farther inland lies the gently undulating upland country crossed by the main access roads and excellent hiking trails. The amazing variety of wildlife includes more than 70 different species of reptiles, the largest and most dangerous of which is the saltwater crocodile, as well as a vast array of fish, mammals, and birds. In addition to all these natural attractions, the park is home to many sacred aboriginal sites and rock paintings. You can explore the park by car, on foot, and on cruises through the waterways, but note that seasonal flooding may close some sections of the park-especially during the wet season. For comprehensive information on the natural history and culture of this unique area stop by the National Park's Visitors Center in Jabiru. The best time is in the dry season between June and August. During the wet season it's rain and it is too hot. 3 days will enough to explore whole area of park. It's open for visitors 24×7.

Beautiful scenery, worth the travel! Catch the sunset at Uluru and watch the rock change colour, book the light up tour before you get there as we missed out to no availability to book in on the day (and we were there in a quiet time) Normally $25 per person entry into the national park but currently free due to rona! Yay. Campsite is $45 unpowered with nice facilities. Petrol is priced as mad as expected.. think we paid $1.80 per litre..
