Visitor Safety in Kakadu National Park

There are a number of safety-related aspects of travelling in Kakadu National Park: crocodiles, disease-carrying insects, large feral animals, dehydration, and what to do if a member of your group gets injured or lost.

Twin Falls Area in Kakadu National Park

To Jim Jim and Twin Falls. (Side trip of 130km return). This is definitely 4WD only, it is very rough and corrugated and is a slow trip. Track is closed during the wet season and there is a deep water crossing at Jim Jim that must be crossed to continue onwards to Twin Falls. Camping is only allowed/possible at end of Jim Jim track at designated camp site. A newly upgraded camp ground is at Jim Jim. Vehicle access to Twin Falls only continues a further 5-10km.

In the past you had to swim or use a lilo to access the Falls gorge. Now you must take the boat shuttle service transfer approx $12.50. Apparently ou can get tickets of the campground manager at Garnamarr.

We are advised: You aren't allowed to swim at Twin Falls plunge pool and beach (Bowali Visitors centre11.10.2010 update). Not in the gorge and not in the plunge pool below the falls.

The boat shuttle takes you through the gorge and drops you near the falls. From here you have to walk for like two minutes, over some rocks and then over a boardwalk. You end up at a big pool with a sandy beach at the bottom of the falls. You end up at a big pool with a sandy beach at the bottom of the falls.
