July 20- August 4, 2009

Photographing a Kakadu Waterfall
  • The only way to see many wonderful creeks and gorges hidden deep within the heart of Kakadu.
  • Camp next to beautiful pools -- pools you share with no one but your walking companions.
  • Visit Aboriginal art sites. We visit many sites untouched by any other tour operator.

Pictures say more than words. Look at the pictures below for an idea of what you'll be doing and what you'll see if you join us.

Section 1: Koolpin to Twin: July 20-26

Our walk begins in southern Kakadu and takes us through spectacular Koolpin Gorge with its many waterfalls and Aboriginal art sites. From Koolpin we cross to Twin Falls Creek and work our way downstream to Twin Falls where we meet our food drop.

Section 2: Twin to Gunlom: July 26 - August 4
Walking through open woodland on the way to the next waterfall

After meeting our food drop vehicle at Twin Falls, we walk across a plain then climb the escarpment to Surprise Falls, a beautiful spot inaccessible except on a long walk.

From here, we continue to Graveside, Barramundi and Waterfall Creek, ending at Gunlom Falls, site of the waterfall scene in the original Crocodile Dundee movie. As always, there is plenty of time for swimming along the way. Near the headwaters of Waterfall Creek
We return to Darwin from Gunlom via the small town of Pine Creek. The trip is over but the memories will last a lifetime.
Terrain and difficulty. This is one of the longest trips we offer in Kakadu. You will see more of Kakadu than on most of our other walks.

Some sections of the walk are fairly flat and relatively easy. Others involve considerable rock hopping and are moderately difficult. There are a few steep climbs but these are short and over relatively quickly for most groups.

To take part you need good fitness and a sense of adventure. The food drop at the end of section one means that you do not need to carry food for the full 16 days.

Relaxing by the pool

Your rewards are waterfalls, wildflowers and an incredible Kakadu wilderness experience no other operator can offer you.
