Jabiru is a town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Built in 1982, the town is completely surrounded by Kakadu National Park. At the 2016 census, Jabiru had a population of 1,081. It is named after the black-necked stork often seen in the wetlands and billabongs of Kakadu,[2] which is commonly referred to in Australia as a Jabiru (not to be confused with the stork native to South and Central America).
