The next day saw us trek down a narrow, windy 4WD track to visit Twin and Jim Jim Falls. It was a bit of an adventure, featuring submerged river crossing, an encounter with a dingo, and a cruise through the canyon.

… To reach Twin Falls.

The waterfall was pretty with its white sand beach, but I loved the rock formations even more.

I thought Twin Falls was impressive, but I hadn’t seen nothing yet. Jim Jim Falls involved a much harder walk, clambering over giant boulders, and swimming in ice cold water. But floating in the plunge pool with 200 metres of rock above me is an experience I won’t forget in a hurry.

In the afternoon, we spent a lot of time on or by billabongs. Yellow Waters is cruise central in Kakadu, and even in the space of an hour or so, we saw quite a lot of wildlife.

There were the beautiful birdlife.

And of course, the ubiquitous crocodile (they really were everywhere).

Afterwards, we retired to our camp by a smaller and much quieter, although no less beautiful, billabong.
