We always head to the Visitor Information Centre to find out about the area we are visiting - this is one of the most amazing I have seen. Bowali (Bor-Warl_ee) Visitor Centre is on the Kakadu Highway - about 5 kilometres west of Jabiru. The Centre is open from 8 am to 5 pm all year round and designed in a very distinctive way.
You need to allow plenty of time when you visit Bowali as there is so much to see. The design of the building is fascinating and then you go inside to look at the displays - wow we learnt so much about the wildlife of Kakadu and Aboriginal Culture.
The Centre is named after the Bowali Creek that flows nearby and the building features lots of beautiful timber work with long covered verandahs keeping the place cool. We spent ages looking through the interpretave displays and then went into the small theatrette to watch a documentary about Kakadu - very enjoyable and interesting.
Bowali Centre also contains the Anmak An-me Cafe (with plenty of seating) and the Marrawuddi Gallery with a large range of Aboriginal Arts and crafts as well as books and gifts. The staff were happy to provide plenty of information on things to see and do in Kakadu as well as timing of special tours being run during the dry season. They advised us on the planning our visit to particular tourist spots in order to join as many of these tours as possible during our short stay in the National Park
There is plenty of parking available at Bowali and they also have information on accommodation in the area.
