The car carrying seven people rolled on the Kakadu Highway about 6 kilometres north of Cooinda Lodge at about 12:30pm Saturday.

The front of a wrecked 4WD.

Stayed at Cooinda Lodge twice in the past 2 years, both times for 3 nights.

We know that road quite well, it's fine. They must have been hiking!!!

Very sad indeed.

"CC" number plates -  Consular Corps?   Perhaps a Diplomatic vehicle.

 edit ..

Reading the second article - it mentioned a hire vehicle ... but then they can't seem to differentiate between Kakadu & Litchfield NPs.  Great journalism .. not.  But what can we expect these days.
