We visit the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre for an insight into the cultural history of the park and late this afternoon, board the sunset Yellow Waters billabong cruise, with it’s prolific birdlife and wonderful variety of plants. Estuarine crocodiles are often spotted here.

After the cruise, we make our way to our overnight accommodation in Jabiru and enjoy a BBQ dinner.

Day 2 (B,L,D)

Start this morning with a spectacular 1 hour scenic flight over Kakadu including Twin and Jim Jim Falls. The falls are at their best during the wet season but are inaccessible by road so you can only see them from the air.

We visit the Bowali visitors information centre and then we drive to the south of the park to explore a few of wet season only waterfalls, which are part of the Yurmikmik walks.

There are a couple of longer walks and a shorter walk, all leading to lovely waterfalls, including Motorcar falls and Boulder Creek.

Motorcar Falls is a 4 km walk each way and is a 25m waterfall dropping down into a beautiful rock plunge pool. Boulder Creek is accessed by a short 2km rocky walk, which leads to some  rockpools with a small waterfall.

Finally onto Nanguluwar art site, which offers a spectacular mix of contact art.
