Kakadu National Park (Continued)

Once again were staying in Australia for this amazing park. Kakadu National park is home to hundreds of species of animals such as Fresh and Salt water crocodiles, wallabies, kangaroos, and blacked necked storks. These are all species we don't see throughout the united states. Any of these animals would be amazing for us to see since we can't without going oversees. Along with all of these animals there are remarkable things to see such as Jim Jim Falls which drops about 660 feet into a pond. One of the most amazing things and the main reason I chose this park is because of the many cave and rock paintings throughout certain areas. This drawings are beautiful and have lasted for such long amounts of time I believe that it is something everyone should see. Each of the paintings tell different stories about hunting, religion, and magic. I think it would be amazing to hear what each of these stories mean and get to see these paintings thought Kakadu National Park.

Kakadu National Park

This is the last week of our blog which means we are traveling one last time and were going to Australia. I wanted to pick a place that would stand out to everyone reading this blog. Kakadu National Park is located in the northern part of Australia and the park is about half the size of the country of Switzerland. The climate of this area is very hot since it is extremely close to the equator. Kakadu actually goes through monsoon seasons which means that it has wet and dry seasons. Recently the park is having issues with invasive species destroying the habitats for the animals that have been there forever. Lastly the park is home to many large rivers and with that beautiful waterfalls all around the park.
Later this week we will talk about tall the different animals you will see and things you can do while at the park.
