The township of Jabiru (wikipedia link) was only built in 1982 in conjunction with the Ranger Uranium Mine. The town is surrounded by the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park. The name Kakadu comes from the Aboriginal floodplain language called Gagudju, which is one of the languages spoken in the north of the park.

The township has a population of less than 2000 people and covers 13 km2 but the police district covers about 23,000 km2. Much of the district is within the National Park and police have a close working relationship with the park rangers.
