Jim Falls in Kakadu National Park Australia - About Jim Jim
Gorge and Jim Jim seasonal falls in Kakadu National Park Northern
Territory Australia.
How to get to Jim Jim falls: On the Kakadu Highway down to 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. 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. See our Jim Jim area links below. Access into Jim Jim
falls is depandent on any adverse weather and road conditions. As
travel Agents in the past 10 years we have seen the Jim Jim Falls
Gorge Track open anywhere from mid June to mid July as there is
no set opening date. Another concern is the removal of crocodiles
hence the croc trap and crocodile facts you see in the web pages
to follow. Crocodile monitoring is constant and the removal of any
crocodiles in Jim Jim is a proirity and sometimes the falls may
be closed for an extra week or so to trap any crocodile that has
well wandered in.
Important: All Update Infoarmation will be at: Bowali Visitor
centre for all updates. Bowali Visitor Centre is open 8am to 5pm
each day and can be contacted on +61 (0) 88938 1121.

Jim Jim Track to the Gorge and seasonal falls
Taken by us Sept 9th, 2007 on the Jim Jim Track. This was before
the seasonal rains had set in which was 6 weeks later. Still with
the water across the track into Jim Jim Gorge one needed to be vigilant
in navigating and driving track to the last carpark to trek to the
Gorge waterhole or billabong beach as some refer to it. The last
20klm we found the toughest with large holes filed with water even
in September.
