Jabiru: Skycam.net.au -> NE
Few places in the Northern Territory have a history as closely tied to the Ranger uranium mine as Jabiru. Established in 1982 as a service town for the mine, Jabiru stands within Kakadu National Park on the traditional lands of the Mirarr people. Its setting is tropical savanna country near the Magela Creek floodplain, part of a vast park recognised by UNESCO for both cultural and natural values. Ranger produced uranium from 1981 until 2021, while Kakadu’s rock art, wetlands and sandstone escarpments reflect a far older, continuing Aboriginal connection to this country. Jabiru Airport is one of the town’s transport links in this remote part of the Top End.

Jabiru sits beside the wetlands of Kakadu National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory, where monsoon rains reshape floodplains between tropical savanna and the Arnhem Land escarpment. The town is the principal service centre for this vast World Heritage-listed park, a landscape cared for by Bininj/Mungguy Traditional Owners. Nearby, the Bowali Visitor Centre introduces Kakadu’s Aboriginal cultures and seasonal ecology, while Ubirr is known for extensive Aboriginal rock art above the Nadab floodplain. Jabiru is also associated with the former Ranger uranium mine, whose rehabilitation remains an important local issue.
