A visit to Kakadu National Park is all about the breathtaking scenery and the native fauna and flora. About a third of all the bird species that can be found in Australia inhabit the park, with more than 60 of these living in and around the wetlands. Ornithologists, children, and parents who simply like feeling at one with nature will enjoy a trip with Yellow Water Cruises in equal measure. The canopied boats that ply the Yellow Water Billabong are ideal for families, as they ensure that the little ones are kept out of direct sunlight. Kids and big kids alike can also learn all about the billabong itself, the estuarine crocodiles that lurk in the water (you may well see some of these), and other wildlife from the experienced guides. Your kids will be delighted if they are lucky enough to see the dancing brolgas. Also known as Australian cranes, these elegant red-crowned animals are among the country's biggest wetland birds.
