πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Northern Territory 3D2N: Darwin & Kakadu Detailed Guide

Arrived in Darwin at 1 AM, took an Uber to a hotel for a quick rest. Day 1️⃣ Started with coffee β˜• and explored Darwin CBD on foot – the city is small and can be covered in 2 hours. Highlights: 🌟 Bicentennial Park 🌟 Parliament House of NT 🌟 Waterfront Precinct 🌟 Stokes Hill Wharf Rented a 4WD Jeep (though didn’t really need it for Kakadu). ⚠️ Note: Excess mileage fee charged at $0.33/km beyond 100 km/day (common in Australia). Stocked up on water, snacks, and food at a supermarket – Kakadu has limited supplies. Downloaded offline Google Maps (no signal in Kakadu!). Drove 3 hours to Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel 🏨: Only international chain in Kakadu, located in Jabiru. Next to gas station & supermarket. Rooms are slightly old but clean. Only one restaurant, but food was surprisingly good! Day 2️⃣ Visited Kakadu Visitor Center for tickets + park map. Staff warned that Jim Jim Falls was closed – saved us a trip! Highlights: 🌟 Ubirr Rock Art (largest site) 🌟 Burrungkuy + Gunwarrdehwarrde Lookout 🌟 Nawurlandja Lookout 🌟 Yellow Water Cruise (Highly recommend! 🐊): Booked 4:30 PM cruise for sunset views. $130 AUD/person – shuttle departs from Cooinda Lodge bus stop before 4:10 PM. Saw crocodiles, buffalo, and birds – ended with a stunning sunset! πŸŒ… Stopped at Cultural Center for Aboriginal exhibits on the way to Cooinda. Day 3️⃣ Early visit to wetlands + bought souvenirs at Coles. Drove back to Darwin Airport, returned the car, and caught QF113 to Singapore at 2:55 PM. #DarwinTravel #Australia #KakaduNationalPark #OffTheBeatenPath #AdventureAwaits πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ίβœ¨
