Nature is what ecotourism is all about.
Kakadu National Park, in the far north of Australia's outback, is a beautiful untouched paradise which, along with many emotions, invokes an incredible sense of isolation. Its vast plains and rugged cliffs used to be the hunting ground of the local Aborigines but now, a national park, it is virtually deserted. Home to many of the scenes of the film Crocodile Dundee, Kakadu is at least twice the size of England, with a population made up of only a handful of park rangers and associated workers. Like many people I had seen photographs and pictures of the rock paintings and thought them attractive. But it isn't until their beauty is combined with the age of the paintings and their location that their true value can be appreciated.
