Explore Stray Creek Conservation Area — a protected wilderness in the lush Top End — ancient Kakadu wetlands, thundering Litchfield waterfalls, and some of the most biodiverse landscapes on the planet. The Territory's national parks aren't manicured gardens; they're vast, raw, ancient landscapes where nature runs the show. You might spot wallabies at dawn, hear dingoes at dusk, or discover Aboriginal rock art that's been here for millennia. Free entry to most NT parks. Best in the dry season (May–October).
Plan your visit
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.
