Australia's largest national park, a UNESCO site for both nature and culture, with wetlands full of crocodiles and birds, waterfalls such as Jim Jim and Twin Falls, and Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr and Nourlangie (Burrungkuy).


Take a Yellow Water cruise. Many roads close in the wet season (November to April). A park pass is required.
