Adventure tours to Jim Jim Falls and Jim Jim
Gorge in Kakadu National Park Australia
Visiting Jim Jim Gorge in Kakadu National Park,
Northern Territory Australia. Jim Jim Falls - On the Kakadu Highway
past Cooinda at the south end of Kakadu National Park to Jim Jim
and Twin Falls. (Side trip of 130km return). From the north end
of the park turn east off the Kakadu Highway 43km south of the
Bowali Centre, this is only a 4WD access road. A just under 2km
return walk through a monsoon forest and over small and larger
boulders will take you to a deep plunge pool surrounded by ancient,
150-metre high cliffs where the falls pound the bottom druring
the Tropical Summer also known as the Green or Wet Seasons usually
from late November to March. Though as season change it's unpredictable.
During the dry season July till October - Jim Jim Falls ceases
to flow.
Jim Jim Falls Area - Road Access Access to the Jim
Jim Falls area is by 4WD only. Turn east off the Kakadu Highway
43km south of the Bowali Centre. Engage 4WD and travel 50 km along
the Jim Jim Falls access road to reach the Garnamarr Campground.
Jim Jim Falls car park is an additional 15 km ( not a straight
track and oten covered by water in areas see photos below) along
the access road. Please note that the information in this document
may not necessarily provide the latest details. During the dry
season written road reports may be provided on a weekly basis
as road conditions are less variable and road reports are not
loaded onto the web on weekends or public holidays.
The colossal Jim Jim Falls is Kakadu’s biggest waterfall.
At 200 m high it’s also taller than all the waterfalls at Litchfield
and Nitmiluk National Parks in the Northern Territory. During
the tropical summer heavy rains fall across Kakadu submerging
vast tracts of land and fuelling these massive falls. The only
way to see Jim Jim during this time is by air. As Kakadu moves
into the dry season and Jim Jim dries up, it’s possible to walk
through monsoon forest and over boulders to the base of the falls.
Here you’ll be struck by the enormity of the surrounding cliffs.
Reach it via the Jim Jim Plunge Pool Walk.
