Yellow Waters Wetlands
Turning
off the Stuart Highway, we travel along the Arnhem Highway
passing the major river systems and wetland regions into

River we begin to explore the World Heritage Area of
Ubirr Rock where we climb up through the ancient
Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for the famous
view over surrounding wetlands. We then visit the Bowali

return walk through paperbark forest leads to a small waterfall
and clear plunge pool with the opportunity to swim. This walk

Jim
Jim and Twin Falls
A truly enjoyable day exploring the majestic beauty of Jim
Jim and Twin Falls. Access to Jim Jim Gorge is
by a 900 metre walk over rocks. Active people have no problems.
The falls may not flow throughout the dry season, but if there
has been a reasonable wet season they will still be running
up until late August and the plunge pool at the base of Jim
Jim provides the opportunity for a welcome swim throughout
the year. The surrounding gorges are a spectacle to behold
as the rock colours continuously change with the suns’ position.
Access to Twin Falls is by a short easy stroll to the edge
of the stream and then a short boat trip up the gorge area
to the beach at the base of Twin Falls, with time to relax
in the spectacular scenery. Late afternoon we make our way
out of Kakadu National Park, viewing Jabiru Township
and pausing for an evening snack (own expense) at the Bark
Hut Inn. Arrive Darwin mid evening. (CB, L) |
