Bowali Visitor Centre

Named after the Bowali Creek which flows nearby, the centre's design was inspired by an Aboriginal Rock Shelter. The Bowali Visitor Centre contains a wealth of information about Kakadu National Park. Information staff, videos, displays and a library are all available to help plan your visit to Kakadu.

Also at the Bowali Visitor Centre is Marrawuddi Gallery which stocks art and crafts, books and gifts. Refreshments are available from the Anmak An-me Café (open 9am to 5pm).
