A very captivating falls can be found<br />

in Jim Jim Area of Kakadu is one of the<br />

best-known attractions of the Australia’s<br />

Kakadu National Park. Currently, access<br />

to the area has tremendously improved.<br />

There are well maintained gravel road<br />

<strong>and</strong> even the two-wheel drive vehicles<br />

can get to Jim Jim camping area though<br />

not to the falls itself.<br />

At the top of the plunge pool is a<br />

sure win! Everyone has been enjoying<br />

taking a dip in a hot day. But it is highly<br />

recommended for you to take some<br />

more time to spare the falls to enjoy <strong>and</strong><br />

explore going to the top of the falls.<br />

Are you a hiker? This is one that you<br />

can try, it is called the Barrk-Marlam<br />

Bushwalk. It is a six-kilometre return<br />

walk that takes you six hours return<br />

depending on your pace. First part of<br />

the walk is a bit challenging as this is<br />

a steep climb up to the side of the hill<br />

but most of it was an easy stroll thru the<br />

bushl<strong>and</strong> along the top of the slope.<br />

This place is surely one good place for<br />

hiking, relaxing <strong>and</strong> camping all rolled<br />

into one.<br />

Twin Falls Gorge is one of Kakadu’s<br />

big waterfalls. It has a 150-metre<br />

high cliff into a deep pool. During<br />

the dry season, you can walk<br />

through to the base as it has a<br />

very slow flow of water.<br />

It has an aquatic life in the clear<br />

waters that deserves a special<br />

mention in this blog. As soon as<br />

you dock, a good walking exercise<br />

along the floating boardwalk<br />

showcase the best scenery that<br />

the falls could offer.<br />

At the base of the gorge, you can<br />

go on picnic <strong>and</strong> soak yourself in<br />

the best aura on the white beach.<br />

You may also explore more of Twin<br />

Falls Gorge during the dry season<br />

is by road, boat shuttle service <strong>and</strong><br />

a walking over huge stones, s<strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> boardwalk.<br />
