Kakadu Billabong Safari Camp offers eco accommodation and Aboriginal cultural experiences along the Jim Jim Creek in Kakadu National Park, NT, Australia.
The family hold a long and proud history as Traditional Owners of the land on which the camp is located.
Mayali people have lived in the region for many thousands of years.
When the sea levels rose and the shoreline was along the edge of the escarpment people lived in the rocky areas of the escarpment country, a unique part of Australia and the home of many unique plant and animals species. Through long periods of isolation as geological changes have shaped this part of Australia unique species, such as the Banded Fruit-Dove (Adjmu; Ptilinopus cinctus), the Oenpelli Python (Nawaran; Morelia oenpelliensis), the Black Wallaroo (Barrk, Macropus bernardus), have evolved in the area and are only found in the escarpment areas of Kakadu.
The Jim Jim creek system has become the wonderful floodplain resource over the last 6,000 years as the sea levels retreated and the freshwater system we see today has developed. Aboriginal ancestors of the current Murumburri landowners have lived through all these changes and developed a rich culture in the region. Their knowledge and culture are shared through the Kakadu Billabong Safari Camp and associated activities. We invite you to come and experience the wonderful feel of this country and take some time to understand the land and the culture that makes this area so special.
Our People
Kakadu Billabong Safari Camp lies on Murumburr clan country on the edge of the Jim Jim river system, approximately 60-70kms downstream of the world famous Jim Jim Falls.
Murumburr clan and affiliate families continue to live in the unique Kakadu National Parks, where culture and tradition still remains strong. The traditional land owners thrive on the many bush foods that the six different seasons bring.
With 7 different habitats, an abundance of foods is easily found. Knowledge of the seasons and food has been passed down through many generations of dahbohdabolk that have traveled the land. These ancestors have left the remnants of stone tools and artefacts which continue to be used today.
The Murumburr clan and our family members welcome you to come and have a taste of a real โliving cultural experienceโ, and of their daily lives.
Visit www.kakadubillabongsafaricamp.com.au to book and learn from our family our cultural ways!
