Hey all, flew up to Darwin then headed to Kakadu National Park for the weekend (25th - 29th April). Here is just some of what we found, hope you enjoy the photos :).

Unfortunately many of the Elapids we saw were Roadkill. Especially the exciting ones :x Two Northern Brown Snakes Pseudonaja nuchalis, a Northern death Adder, Pygmy mulga snake, And worst of all, a Top end King Brown, and possibly the rarest snake in the Top End, a very unfortunate Coastal Taipan :evil: Really sucks to see how careless people are on the roads when it comes to slowing down for a snake. Anyway...I'll continue with non-dead stuff...

Great stuff. Shame about the road kill but it's actually better than just after the cane toads came through, there was just nothing!

Were you in the north or south part of Kakadu?

hope you're driving a 4X4 as the road may be very dangerous or impassible.

Yep. Got a lifted 4x4, big muddies, snorkel and diff locks. Coming into the build up im hoping for some water crossings :)

Around the Northern area SteveNT

If you get a chance check out the southern end of the Park for a few days. In the east is more escarpment but west there is a completely different geology. Not as spectacular (so largely ignored) but really rich in life.
 
Wow, mat those are some awesome shots absolutly fantastic, im lost for words. Cant pick a favourite because they are all so good. Did u end up seeing any monitors and surely you would of seen some crocs.
