I went unprepared… it is a very long walk to the falls but it is really worth it. One way was probably 40 minutes but we had to cross through ankle deep water on a few occasions. Barramundi can be seen swimming along the river and in the plunge pool. Definitely bring water, you will need it and do cool off in the water even if you didn’t come prepared like me in normal clothes, you will be dry before you get to the car park. I don’t regret doing the hike, the scenery and the falls are beautiful.

I do advise that people with mobility problems will have a lot of trouble as most of the walk can be really slippery and at times you need to use your hands to stabilise yourself. Very young children will have...

A refreshing experience. The waterfall itself is surrounded by lush greenery, and the water is clear and inviting. The trail to reach the falls is fairly easy, though some parts are a bit rocky, so sturdy shoes are advised. Once there, the natural pool is perfect for a swim, offering a cool respite from the heat. The area is not overly crowded, providing a tranquil environment to enjoy nature. It’s a good spot for a quick getaway from city life, though don’t expect extensive facilities. Overall, it’s a charming and relatively accessible location for those looking to enjoy some...

One of the most stunning places I’ve ever been in Australia. Place is just magical and there’s the chance to swim as long as you want in a clear and pristine water. The last 10km to reach the car park are a bit rough, road is 4wd only but in dry season you can probably do it with a 2wd. There’s no risk of getting bogged, instead the issue are the little bumps that can hurt the suspensions. Walk is short and can get a little slippery to reach the main pool(the one you see in the photo below) but nothing too difficult. Highlights of Kakadu and...

We took a small Front wheel drive SUV in, road was a little corrugated in spots also some spots of soft bull dust. Carpark is well shaded. The walk to the Falls is relatively easy, the first appox 700m Is walking track with some water over the track, then there's approx 350m of very rocky terrain, that is slippery once your get some sand on your shoes Must be well balanced on your feet if your hands are full. Definitely not suitable for children that need to be carried. If you can make it, it's absolutely worth it
