A journey across the Top End
A marriage proposal in Kakadu turns your moment into a Top End journey. Fly from Darwin towards Kakadu National Park, with a selected lodge, dining, cruise or ground experience planned around the two of you. Ask before departure, in the air or in the park. The landscape changes with the seasons.
Kakadu National Park
East of Darwin, Kakadu is Australia's largest national park, listed as World Heritage for both its natural beauty and its living culture. Wetlands, rivers, monsoon forest and sandstone escarpments stretch across the Top End.
The Bininj/Mungguy people have cared for this country for tens of thousands of years, and their rock art galleries are among the oldest in the world. Few places feel as vast or as timeless.
