Large saltwater crocodile is also the same place and visitors may see them at Yellow Water and East Alligator River so it is no coincidence that the Crocodile Dundee films were shot here. Visitors are urged to be careful about crocodiles as they have been responsible for several deadly attacks. Recreational fishing is a popular activity in Kakadu National Park. The main target species is Barramundi and the most popular locations are Yellow Water, South Alligator and East Alligator River. Hunting is not allowed in Kakadu National Park.
