On Thursday (May 25th), we drove back into Kakadu and went straight to Gunlom Falls in the south of the park, another backdrop for the film Cocodile Dundee. After walking around the base of the pool at the bottom, we set off to climb up to the top of the waterfall. Once up there the view was fantastic, but even better was that we had the pools to ourselves. Most of us went for a swim around and it was surprisingly warm for 9:30 in the morning!
From there we went to Boulder Creek for another relaxing swim amongst the waterfalls. The water was a bit colder, but then how often do you get to swim in a place like that? After a quick picnic lunch, we had enough time to go and check out another Aboriginal art site and a lookout over some escarpment country before we made our way back into Darwin for the night.
