Twin Falls Gorge

Strikingly magnificent - Jim Jim Falls is over 200 metres high! This area is a powerful and spiritual place for Aboriginal custodians. Nayuhyungki, the creation ancestors, travelled across this area. Many have left their spiritual essence here, as a reminder of their actions. Almudj, the Rainbow Serpent, travelled along these waterways and now rests in the neighbouring Twin Falls plunge pool. Yamidj started his creation journey here, leaving behind yams, red ochre and his essence in the form of a katydid (small green grasshopper). Today, water continues to shape this landscape. In the wet season, heavy rains flood escarpment creeks and great volumes of water thunder over the falls to flood the lowlands. At this time, the area is inaccessible by road, but is spectacular by scenic flight. In the dry season, the creeks and falls slowly dry up and the area can be visited by 4WD. Whenever you visit, the steep sandstone gorges, monsoon forests and plunge pools will leave you awestruck.  Image: two_vintage_wanderers [IG] #jimjimfalls #waterfalls #plungepool

Here’s a sneaky shot from my Kakadu flights a couple of weeks ago - the magnificent Twin Falls. Definitely one of my favourite waterfalls in the Top End, but not without its challenges when it comes to shooting… the narrow gorge walls take a bit of manoeuvring to get into the right spot for the shot. I’d previously captured the falls from a more top-down angle, but this time I made sure I spent the time with the pilot to try different angles from within the gorge - Magic! Big thanks for the flight north_australian_helicopters - Mark was great at deciphering my jumbled helicopter positioning directions! That way a bit up, back a bit, 10 o clock a bit 😂 🚁 Lots more shots to come!

A land before time 🌿 This magnificent display of mist and colour might look like something straight out of Jurassic Park, but in fact, it's #JimJimFalls in #KakaduNationalPark. Fly over ancient escarpments and waterfalls inaccessible by car during the tropical summer with @KakaduAir, including Jim Jim and Twin Falls 🚁 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @sharnaa_louise! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #DoKakadu

Keeping cool, NT style! 💦 If you're a big fan of waterfalls like us, a visit to #Litchfield National Park is definitely a must! Fed by twin falls and fringed by shady trees, Florence Falls ranks as one of the park's front runners, particularly as it's swimmable almost year round. Reaching the fall's glistening jade-green swimming hole is half the appeal 👉 the walk is short, relatively easy and showcases the dramatic contrast between mighty sandstone escarpment and lush monsoon forest. An easy day trip from #Darwin, Litchfield may be a fraction of the size of Kakadu, but when it comes to swimming opportunities it packs a serious punch 👌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @outtaorbit_! ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd
