Starting from Nawurlandja Carpark, Kakadu, this walk takes you up to the Nawurlandja Lookout and back via a singular track, exploring the rocky ridge of the hill along the way. Expect a 180-degree picturesque view of the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) and the Arnhem Land escarpment across a vast blanket of savanna woodlands. In late afternoon, kookaburras and cockatoos may give you a nice, peaceful concert of their own. Sit down and take in the refreshing scenery, and maybe have a little picnic if you'd like. Keep in mind that dogs are not allowed in Kakadu National Park. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
