Alligator Rivers is the name of an area in an Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory of Australia, containing three rivers, the East, West, and South Alligator Rivers. It is regarded as one of the richest biological regions in Australia, with part of the region in the Kakadu National Park. It is an Important Bird Area (IBA), lying to the east of the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains IBA. It also contains mineral deposits, especially uranium, and the Ranger Uranium Mine is located there. The area is also rich in Australian Aboriginal art, with 1500 sites. The Kakadu National Park is one of the few World Heritage sites on the list because of both its natural and human heritage values. They were explored by Lieutenant Phillip Parker King in 1820, who named them in the mistaken belief

  • Alligator Rivers is the name of an area in an Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory of Australia, containing three rivers, the East, West, and South Alligator Rivers.

  • De Alligator Rivers zijn rivieren in het noorden van het Noordelijk Territorium (Australië). Het betreft drie rivieren: de East Alligator River (227 km lang), de South Alligator River (269 km) en de West Alligator River (115 km). In tegenstelling tot wat de naam doet vermoeden, leven er geen alligators maar echte zeekrokodillen (Crocodylus porosus). De naam alligator werd gegeven door Engelse kolonisten die eerder in de Verenigde Staten met echte alligators in contact waren gekomen. De West Alligator River is de kortste van de drie rivieren. De East Alligator River vormt de grens tussen het Nationaal park Kakadu en Arnhemland. De South Alligator River ligt midden in Kakadu en het is de langste rivier ter wereld die geheel in één nationaal park ligt. In het regenseizoen nemen de rivieren sterk in omvang toe, waardoor omliggende gebieden overstromen. (nl)
