Historical Imformation
The early history of white contact with the Kakadu area includes the visits of Baldwin Spencer in 1912
The area around Kakadu is the site of some of the earliest tropical settlements in Australia and as such the great archaeological . It is important to remember, when travelling through the area, that 25 000 years ago aboriginals were far more advanced than the European people and the Middle East. They had developed stones for crushing seeds and were making ocher for painting on cave walls.
Establishment!!!!!
Kakadu was established at a time when the Australian community was becoming more interested in the history of national parks for conservation of the land interests of Aboriginal people. A national park in the alligator rivers region was proposed as early as 1965, but took until 1978 for the Australia government to make arrangements to the titles over various of land that is now Kakadu National Park.
