Gunlom Falls
Gunlom Falls is an attractive 30m waterfall that you can self drive to in Kakadu National Park. It is perhaps famous for making an appearance on the movie "Crocodile Dundee". And upon a visit to the falls, you could find it hard to leave as it has gorgeous trees growing from a sandy beach. All of which faces the lovely falls, which probably looks its best in the afternoon. Getting to the falls requires driving some 39km (each way) on rough, bumpy, and dusty washboarded roads. However, a 2wd can definitely make it with a little careful driving. If you've hired a high clearance vehicle, then no worries. The falls resides on Jawoyn tribe land, but to my knowledge, access is free and I highly recommended checking it out. Look for the turnoff to the falls a few minutes south of the turnoff for Maguk (Barramundi Falls) on the Kakadu Highway. Both turnoffs are south of Cooinda. Turn left when you reach a fork on the unsealed road then drive to the end of the road where the car park is. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
