say that I want to stop. I try and research the various areas before we
arrive using a combination of the internet and visitors centre where there
is one. Within Kakadu National Park there are two main visitors centres,
Bowali Centre and Warrandjan Centre plus Bark Hutt Inn which has tourist
information. We have stopped at all of these.
The Warrandjan Aboriginal Centre has an excellent gallery which takes the
visitor on a journey through the display and tells the story of the Bininj
culture. It is extremely well presented and well worth stopping to see.
The exhibition provides photos of various Aboriginal people and then gives a
short explanation on hunting, their families, their gathering of local bush
tucker, hand crafts etc. There is also the customary gift shop but
surprisingly no café or food store. Visitors must be self-reliant as apart
from the small township of Jabiru there are very few shops within the park,
and we only saw one called Border store at the Cahill crossing.
