Kakadu National Park lies in Australia's Northern Territory, about 171 km southeast of Darwin, and covers 19,804 square kilometres, roughly the size of Wales. Most of the land is owned by its Aboriginal traditional owners, whose ancestors have lived there for around 60,000 years, and they manage the park jointly with Parks Australia. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list for both nature and culture, which very few places achieve. The park has wetlands, floodplains and escarpments with an extraordinary variety of wildlife, and rich rock art at sites such as Ubirr. Visitors see two very different parks: a dry season of walks, art sites and waterfalls, and a wet season when floods transform the landscape.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
