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 />
