Waterfalls of the Northern Territory
Most of the Northern Territory's (NT) waterfalls are concentrated in the tropical northern regions of the state (also known as the Top End). With these waterfalls, timing is everything as the optimal times to see the waterfalls is a moving window between the monsoonal downpours of summer and the availability of access roads when floods subside and saltwater crocodiles leave. However, you can still see the waterfalls by air if access is prohibited. The World Heritage Area of Kakadu National Park features the state's most spectacular waterfalls. If your timing is right, you can visit the base of Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls. However, aerial views of these waterfalls are also available if time or access is not possible. However, you can experience a wonderful self-touring alternative at Gunlom Falls where "Crocodile Dundee" was filmed. WATERFALLSClick on one of the waterfalls below to read more about it.
