In the Northern Territory of Australia is a land that was made by the ancient ones at the Creation of Time. They are the ones who formed the land, made the animals, and created the aboriginal people who live there. And now, thanks to a joint effort of the Australian government and the Aboriginals, this land, as well as the stories which have shaped it, are able to survive and thrive as the Kakadu National Park.

Going on the Kakadu tours takes you back to a time when the aboriginals lived and worked in Australia without the European influence which has taken its toll on the native cultures and lands. This park is owned by the Aboriginals and is set up to preserve their heritage. One only needs to look at the name of the park itself to understand just how vitally important this preservation is. The word Kakadu comes from the Gagudju language which flourished at the beginning of the twentieth century in the Northern Territory. Now, less than a hundred years later, it is lost as a spoken language and is only regularly used by interested scholars.

Kakadu is so important that it has received UN support as a UNESCO World Heritage site. So when you take your Kakadu tours, you know you will find beauty and wonder that not only fills your vacation with many wonderful memories, but with experiences that are recognized as vitally important to the history of the world. And in taking your Kakadu tours, you not only enrich yourself, but you help to protect and preserve this cultural treasure.

There are many wonderful things to see while you are in the Kakadu National Park. Some of the most amazing are ancient cave paintings and rock carvings which were created by the ancestors of the Aboriginal people who still live there. Archeologists are working hard to discover, preserve, and understand these hidden gifts left by generations of native people. And by taking the Kakadu tours you get to see them first hand, in the environment they were made for, surrounded by the descendants of the artists themselves.

There is no way to truly understand the importance of the place and art without knowing and talking with the people themselves. And by going on the Kakadu tours you get to do just that. The Park is owned by the Aboriginals and managed with the help of the Australian government, so the area is beautiful, and the people are genuine. Allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the world of these almost forgotten people.

Going on the Kakadu tours is a once in a lifetime chance to experience history alive today. You can meet the people and join the culture of this wonderland of wilderness in the Northern Territory of Australia. You get to see first hand the way that their beliefs and stories shaped their art and the land they lived on. And you get to support them and help make sure that no more languages and customs are lost to time because no one cared. By spending time in the Kakadu National Park you ensure that cultures and people important not only to Australian, but to the world, continue to survive and thrive.
