Gunlom Falls
This picturesque waterfall is one of the finest in Kakadu, and one of the most popular.
Its cascading waters and pristine plunge pools attract people looking for a refreshing dip (or just some spectacular photographs).
From the sandy beach and large clear pool at the base, a short, steep walk takes you to a series of smaller rocky pools stretching up into the escarpment.
Gunlom is a must-see and a highlight of everyone’s Kakadu bucket list.
