Parks Australia supports the Director of National Parks, the federal park agency, in managing six Commonwealth national parks, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, and Australian Marine Parks.

Kakadu, Australia’s largest national park located three hours from Darwin, is as wild as it is wondrous. Waterways snake through monsoon rainforests, towering sandstone escarpments give way to cascading waterfalls and billabongs come alive with birdlife and crocodiles.
