Kakadu

Am planning to visit Kakadu next year. Besides birding I'd  like to see the major rock art sites and immerse myself in indigenous culture.
Would appreciate any suggestions re the best way to bird in Kakadu for a single person without a 4 wheel drive. Perhaps a birding tour? Or the possibility of joinng a small group from a bird club who may be visiting Kakadu?
With thanks
Joan Wharton

    Hi JoanI birded in Darwin and Katherine, and a few places in between, last Easter. I had a hire car for Darwin and the trip to and from Katherine and was easily able to find my way around – and of course had help from some of the birding-aus community on where to look for birds.The best part of the trip was when I hired a guide for a full day. Mick Jerram was amazing – he found me nearly all my target species and we had a fabulous day out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mick to anyone, whether a beginning birder or a serious twitcher with specific targets. If I get back to the NT I'll make sure I travel when I can do another day with Mick. There are plenty of good guides in the NT, and probably a few on birding-aus, but I'd recommend Micl Jerram for the sort of trip you're planning, or for at least a day or two to get yourself accustomed to the region.Russell WoodfordBirding-Aus founderBrisbane, QLDOn Thu, 19 Dec 2019 at 18:39, JOAN WHARTON <mjwharton03@gmail.com> wrote:
