Review of Kakadu’s 12-hour escape from Darwin, with ancient rock art, crocodiles, Fogg Dam or a jumping croc cruise, and practical tips.

“A fabulous day hosted safely and competently by Becs - with lots of great stories, facts and education along the way. Plenty of stops and educational breaks to split up the long trip. The rock-art must be seen up close to truly appreciate. Bianca helped for a short part of the trip but wasn’t as good as Becs.”
