The Gagudju Crocodile Hotel is in the middle of Kakadu National Park. Nearly the size of Israel, Kakadu is almost 5 million acres of Northern Australia's Alligator Rivers Region. Not only does Kakadu contain a vast amount of beautiful landscape, but it's also well known for it's rich cultural (Aboriginal) importance as well. Kakadu is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List and was the location for the Crocodile Dundee films.
The Hotel was created by a Darwin architect, assisted by local Aboriginals. The jaws are the main entrance, opening into a beautiful marble foyer. The 250 meter croc has over 100 rooms.
