> Well maybe not... I checked the lyric sheet and it actually says "Kakadu
man", but it's the same thing anyway isn't it? (In Swedish a cockatoo is
called "kakadua".)

No, I wouldn't think so. Kakadu man would mean an aboriginal person who
comes from the Kakadu area the Northern Territory. It could be any person,
but given the spirit of the album and the area's culture and heritage, most
likely aboriginal.
