What to expect
We then head to Nourlangie Rock nearby where you can see how the local indigenous people lived in the area through the generations. The environmental and social changes of the area are evident in the rock art and surrounding areas where archaeologists have uncovered over 20, years of Aboriginal occupation.
It's then onto the Bowali Visitor Centre which is named after the land owned by the Mirarr clan. The audio-visual presentations will give you in an insight into the Aboriginal art from artists within Kakadu and surrounding areas. Here you can view a wide range of Aboriginal rock art which will be explained and interpreted by your guide, including a famous story about the Rainbow Serpent. We climb the Nadab Lookout for excellent views over the surrounding floodplain and into Arnhem Land as the sun sets.

While the crowd is peering at a crocodile gliding terrifyingly close by, a man cries out, having spotted a rare something or other across the water which we must go look at. Learn about the intriguing cathedral and magnetic termite mounds, which are abundant in the park, and view the beautiful spring-fed streams and sandstone escarpments.
Choose to relax at the lower plunge pool or hike to the top of the falls where many rock pools and cascading smaller waterfalls are just asking to be swum under. After lunch, we bid farewell to Kakadu and head to the Katherine region, stopping at Edith Falls for a refreshing swim before retiring to our private campsite near Katherine for dinner and a well deserved rest.

Please contact us with any questions. Price Description Tour code: Cooinda is pricier, and wussier, with full amenities and a bar next to a swimming pool. If this sounds like too much for you, the lodge offers cabins expensive or very basic dorm-style private rooms with beds and aircon. The alarms go off and we stumble in the predawn light to the courtesy bus which will take us to the Yellow Water billabong sunrise cruise. On our boat are some very committed bird people, however. While the crowd is peering at a crocodile gliding terrifyingly close by, a man cries out, having spotted a rare something or other across the water which we must go look at.
The video and pictures go viral. Even the tour guide is impressed. Windows are down, the fan is on and we are flapping towels and shirts like mad to disperse the stowaway mosquitoes lurking around our ankles. There are very few places to swim in Kakadu — the tourist guide officially recommends the Jabiru public pool only — and most are here in the Mary river region. Gunlom Falls, which you would recognise from a thousand tourism adverts, is the star, but Maguk is a quiet achiever.
Fast facts
An easy and mostly shaded two-kilometre walk trails through the monsoon forest, with some slightly more difficult rock hops over the sandy creek. It is possible to hike up around the hill to the top of the falls but the path, a short distance back along the river, is not easy to find. We were lucky enough to time our visits to Maguk between the tour buses and had the place almost to ourselves. Otherwise park yourself with a book on the warm slabs of rock and sand around the plunge pool, and while away the hours with nothing but the birds, the breeze and the occasional backpacker to bother you.
There are toilets and barbecue areas, but no drinking water. We move on to Gunlom, unsuccessfully trying to manage our high expectations. The more popular cousin to Maguk, Gunlom falls is accessible by any car that can handle a dirt road, and its natural infinity pool is the star of a million Instagrams. We madly assemble the tents to make it to the top of the falls before sundown. Remember I said we were all reasonably fit? This is testing, but we are racing the sun so the two speediest travellers the smoker and the shortest person — how is that fair?
The others haul arse over rocks and and trees, whingeing away the pain, and thinking of the excellent leg muscles we are surely developing in this half-hour burst.
The pain pays off, and a postcard cliche greets us. The dying sunlight reflects on the glassy infinity pool, until we break the surface, jumping in for sweet relief. A flying bird silhouettes itself across the sun, and we laugh, realising this is actually the official NT tourism logo, but in real life.
