Working Holiday in Kakadu
Theoretically, UK backpacker Faye Christodoulou is on a working holiday in Darwin, gateway to the world-famous Kakadu National Park, where she works as a tour hostess.
In reality it’s all one big holiday for Faye who explores the Kakadu's ancient Aboriginal art galleries, rugged escarpments and six metre crocodiles before returning to Darwin where the warm weather, sandy beaches, clear blue skies, open air markets and friendly pubs, cafés and locals make every day feel like a holiday.
Like Faye, you can experience Australia's Outback and the Northern Territory whilst backpacking in Australia.
