Enjoy an evening of Kakadu-inspired food and a beverage package at a one-of-a-kind event at Cooinda Airstrip.
This unique experience presents stargazing from a Kakadu Bininj perspective. The skies are rich in Aboriginal folklore, and traditional owners will be in attendance to share their interpretations of the stars above.

Meanwhile you’ll enjoy a delectable menu prepared by Cooinda Lodge’s head chef.
