Jim Jim Falls 4x4 unsealed road and track in Kakadu National Park from Darwin

About Jim Jim Falls dirt road track in Kakadu National Park Australia Jim 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.

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.



Jim Jim Track blog: Jim Jim 4WD unsealed Track Jim Jim 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. This is definitely 4WD only, it is rough and corrugated in patches and sandy with drifts and sand banks in other places, considerably a slow trip. If you are a self drive, or selfdrive hiring a 4 wheel drive vehicle rental or 4WD camper hire the hint is watch out for the dust from passing motorists or drivers in front of you.

Jim Jim Track blog: I took these shots during the month of September. Bone shattering I didn't think so more the vehicle swayed from sand bank to sand bank in areas and a few bumpy patches. Maybe we had the best driver. Actually we own a 4WD but this opted for a tour to see the difference.




Jim Jim Track blog: If your on a tour try to stay awake as one tends to doze off after a few minutes or you will miss the ancient countryside - probably the only way I can decribe it. Many folks have described this trip (and I have read tourist blogs as well) as bone shatering though I enjoyed it. One thing folks take as many breaks in your 4wd hire as possible. Stop get out have some water and breathe in the fresh sir as the drive can take it's toll on you. Above all what seems easy is often an illusion so drive slow don't speed it's 99% of the problems folks experience.

Jim Jim Gorge in Kakadu

Jim Jim Gorge and seasonal falls 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.



I took this photo of the crocodile trap from Jim Jim track to the Jim Jim Gorge and Falls. Also Maguk, Moline Rockhole, Gubara, Motorcar Falls, Gunlom Falls and the secretive only a limited number of permits to the publlic available Koolpin Gorge.

What to do in Darwin

Things to do in Darwin Crocosaurus Cove Darwin is a great way to spend 1-3 hours if you have a layover in Darwin or overnight and need a time filler. It's in the heart of the CBD. If you can't find time to go on a crocodile cruise and there are many from Darwin then this is the next best thing that will let you be real close to a live Australian saltwater crocodile. Crocosaurus Cove is actually Crocosaurus Cove Aquarium which is modeled after a typical Top End river system in Northern Territory. I actually liked the display of Australian Reptiles they had and they displayed some 70+ species of reptiles truly fascinating as we spent hours and I went round 3 times and I'm a local here. There are around 180 crocodiles there so they established a little interaction for you called the 'cage of death'.

Darwin, Kakadu and Crocodiles

Warnings about crocodiles How many crocodiles are there in the Northern Territory well its estimated to be somewhere around 100 000 crocodiles in the wild.
