Newest Review: ... The 'Ghan' train passes through Pine Creek as the railway from Adelaide to Darwin still follows this route. SUMMARY: The Kakadu National Park is enormous and would take days to explore and I am aware that we saw only a small part of the park but I do feel we got a feeling of what the park offered. There are a number of tours that operate out of Darwin and most are two or three day trips. I ... more
