Kakadu& Surrounds

Weekend plans? Check out #BoulderCreek in @kakadutourism before it stops flowing! 💦 This waterhole becomes a sandy creek bed during the dry season, but it's paradise in the tropical summer 😍 Thanks for tagging #NTaustralia, @sunshine.and.grump 🌴 #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #KakaduNationalPark #holidayherethisyear

Nothing beats a scenic flight over @kakadutourism at this time of year, right @kakaduair? 🙌 During the tropical summer a scenic flight provides a whole new perspective on the World Heritage-listed marvel 👉 unique vista views of impressive landforms, dynamic ecosystems, rugged wilderness and thundering waterfalls...like #JimJimFalls pictured here 💦 #NTaustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeAustralia #SeeKakadu

If wildlife's your thing, @bamurruplains has you covered 🙌 Located on the edge of @seekakadu, this luxury escape is home to one of the largest crocodile and bird populations in the world. Thanks for tagging #NTaustralia, @bamurruplains. #SeeAustralia #holidayherethisyear

We're halfway there... here's your 5th favourite post in 2022! We shared this snap in January, saying... We love the green season in @SeeKakadu! 🌿 The Yurmikmik walks, in the southern region of #KakaduNationalPark, are a series of interconnected walking trails that provide a wet and wild experience, particularly over the tropical summer. If you don’t fancy the longer hikes, it's only a 2 kilometre return walk to Boulder Creek where you can find this pretty waterfall and a handful of secluded rock pools...perfect for cooling off 😍 Please note: the Yurmikmik walks are currently only accessible by all-wheel drive or 4WD vehicle. ​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @ryeaaahh! ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu

They don't call it Yellow Water Billabong for nothin' ☀ A @kakadutourism Yellow Water Cruise is a must when you visit #KakaduNationalPark 🤠 The river system is the largest in Kakadu and is home to an abundance of wildlife, like this guy 🐊 Thanks for tagging #NTaustralia, @theadventuresofthelosthouse. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

Why wait? Summer is already here in #NTaustralia 😎 Nestled at the end of a 2 kilometre return hike through monsoon forests, #JimJimFalls is the perfect place to cool off in #KakaduNationalPark 🌴 Early bird deals for your early summer at the link in bio! Cheers for tagging, @outherelost. #SeeAustralia #holidayherethisyear #SummerInTheNT

Good luck trying to pull us away from this spot 😍 #JimJimFalls, famous for its Jurassic Park-style scenery, can be reached by a moderately difficult 2 kilometre (return) hike. The trail takes you through monsoon forest and over boulders to a deep natural pool, all surrounded by dramatic 200 metre cliffs. There's so much to see and do in #KakaduNationalPark - see link in bio for our top 10! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @katrina_ashleighh. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu #holidayherethisyear

Towering escarpments, sandy beaches and monsoon forest 🌿 #JimJimFalls is a special place in @seekakadu to connect with this ancient landscape and its Aboriginal culture. Take your time to experience the peace and serenity 🧡 Over the dry season, the roads become accessible again and the area can be visited by 4WD. The name Jim Jim comes from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek.

#JimJimFalls has opened for the dry season... meet ya there? 🤠 This iconic #KakaduNationalPark location, famous for its Jurassic Park-style scenery, can be reached by a moderately difficult 2 kilometre (return) hike. The walk takes you through monsoon forest and over boulders to a deep natural pool, all surrounded by dramatic 200 metre cliffs. ​ ​The name doesn't come from a man (or two) named Jim, but from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek. Road access is by 4WD only 🚗 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @imtravellingabroad! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #holidayherethisyear #seekakadu #dokakadu

Welcome to #MagukGorge 💚 ​Waterfall-fed, deep and clear as glass, the emerald plunge pool is surrounded by towering gorge walls. Found in the southern region of #KakaduNationalPark, Maguk is one of the only waterfalls in the region that flows while there's no rain. This @seekakadu gem reopened yesterday for the @tourismtopend dry season 🙌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @jaxonfoale. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu #holidayherethisyear

Sunrise at Nourlangie Rock | Burrungkuy in #KakaduNationalPark... we're just waiting for the dinosaurs to appear! 🦖 Wander around the ancient open-air rock art site, impressively preserved on the traditional homelands of the Bininj. The 1.5 kilometre trail will take you through shaded rock shelters, past rock art spanning generations before leading to an incredible vista of escarpment and open forest. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @kayliepeta. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu #holidayherethisyear

Can we teleport here, please? 🖐 The 7.5 kilometre return hike to #MotorCarFalls (via the Yurmikmik walks) might require a bit of effort, but we promise it's well worth it! This seasonal waterfall is one of #KakaduNationalPark's hidden gems. Take some time to cool off in the emerald plunge pool or relax in the shaded area surrounded by lush monsoon forest 💚 Photo: @spadeelliot #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu #holidayherethisyear

A land before time 🌿 This magnificent display of mist and colour might look like something straight out of Jurassic Park, but in fact, it's #JimJimFalls in #KakaduNationalPark. Fly over ancient escarpments and waterfalls inaccessible by car during the tropical summer with @KakaduAir, including Jim Jim and Twin Falls 🚁 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @sharnaa_louise! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu

The walls of the Burrungkuy | Nourlangie rock art site, in World Heritage-listed #KakaduNationalPark, have served as a shelter and canvas for thousands of years. The paintings are a window to a rich spiritual tradition, held by the Bininj/Mungguy, and can be viewed along the 1.5 kilometre loop walk. Home to Aboriginal people for more than 65,000 years, Kakadu is a living cultural landscape. Located deep in @seekakadu, Burrungkuy | Nourlangie is about halfway between Jabiru and Cooinda. Take your pick of accommodation, including @CrocodileHotel or #CooindaLodge. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @helloemilie! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #Dokakadu

Mother Nature puts on a show like nothing else between November and April in @tourismtopend, with heavy rainfall submerging vast tracts of land and fuelling many of #Kakadu's favourite falls. #JimJimFalls (pictured in the second photo) can only be seen at this time from the air 🚁 Take to the skies with @kakaduair for jaw-dropping views of the region's ancient escarpments and waterfalls in full flow. ​​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @helloemilie! ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu
