The Kakadu National Park is a national park located in the Northern Territory, east of the city of Darwin. The name Kakadu comes from the language of the Australian Aborigines call Gaagudju or Kakadu, which was one of the languages spoken in the north of the Park in the early twentieth century. The Gaagudju is no longer regularly spoken but descendants of this language group are still living in Kakadu. In the park, which has an area of slightly less than that of our region Piedmont, there are rocky escarpments, lush wetlands, savannah grasslands and waterfalls. Kakadu, which owes its international fame to the natural and cultural wonders, has one of the highest concentrations of Aboriginal rock art sites in the world.
