Hi - my wife and I will be in Australia in 2024 from about 12 June to 13 August.
From approx 14 July to 8 August we are interested in exploring the Darwin-Kakadu National Park area. We have some questions:
How many days would you devote to the Darwin area...and how many to Kakadu (of the 24 total days or so we have)?
Right now (and we are happy to change these dates/number of days), we are booked into Kakadu from Tuesday, 23 July (2024!) and depart Wednesday, August 7 (2024)= 16 nights (and 15 days). We have reserved a Bush Bungalow (run by Australian Parks) in the Jabiru town area. We will have an SUV (or 4 WD) to explore the entire park. (A) Is this too much time in Kakadu? (B) Do we need a 4WD for this time of the year in Kakadu?
Once we can sort out how many days in Kakadu, we can add (or subtract) days in the Darwin area...or add days in Litchfield NP near Katherine - or other areas beyond Darwin/Kakadu.
So OK,,,if you had 24 days or so in NT, how would you spend them?
Thank You!
Bob
