Towering escarpments, sandy beaches and monsoon forest 🌿 #JimJimFalls is a special place in @seekakadu to connect with this ancient landscape and its Aboriginal culture. Take your time to experience the peace and serenity 🧡 Over the dry season, the roads become accessible again and the area can be visited by 4WD. The name Jim Jim comes from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek.

#JimJimFalls has opened for the dry season... meet ya there? 🤠 This iconic #KakaduNationalPark location, famous for its Jurassic Park-style scenery, can be reached by a moderately difficult 2 kilometre (return) hike. The walk takes you through monsoon forest and over boulders to a deep natural pool, all surrounded by dramatic 200 metre cliffs. ​ ​The name doesn't come from a man (or two) named Jim, but from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek. Road access is by 4WD only 🚗 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @imtravellingabroad! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #holidayherethisyear #seekakadu #dokakadu

Helloooo down there! Nayuhyungki, the creation ancestors, travelled across this area of Jim Jim Falls (pictured) and Twin Falls. 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 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: soups_tony [IG]

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

The road to this stunning location in the beautiful #kakadunationalpark was tough. The gravel road hadn't been grated for this dry season just yet, which meant that the nav got shaken around quite a bit. But it was all so worth it in the end! At the end of the gravel road we managed to score a camp spot and hiked to the #jimjimfalls and it was absolutely amazing! And this photo is also a very good reminder that we have to look left and right while scrambling to the goal. Sometimes the most beautiful locations or the most important things happen along the way and we might just miss them when we run to fast. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #nt #ntaustralia #northernterritory #kakadu #hike_australia #wanderlust #outbackaustralia #goldenhour #goldenoutback #roadtrip #beautifuldestinations #australiasbestlocations #letsgosomewhere #outdoor #homeonetheroad #australiatrip #ig_discover_australia #wildaustralia

Either wait for the water to flow, or appreciate it’s current beauty 🌊 • During rainy season, there’s a massive waterfall that flows off the top of these rocks, at times too dangerous to even hike to. But in dry season, there’s barely a trickle or splash, but you’re left with this gorgeous pure water hole to swim in! • I see this empty waterfall as reminder to our current world. Sure, it’s been a very tough few years for all of us, I don’t think anyone can deny this. But there’s still beauty, there’s still moments we can enjoy. Instead of waiting for life to “go back to normal”, we can do the best we can with what we have and still enjoy it! To me, we have two choices: 1) we can wait for the water to flow and wash all the madness away, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. Or 2) we can appreciate the good things we do have right now in this crazy world. • I’m still working on this myself. I am still struggling with things like not being able to see my family or constant restrictions making daily life a bit more difficult, at times even feels nearly impossible. But I’m also choosing to focus on all the good that’s still in my life and I hope we can all work to do this together! Let’s all look for the beauty even if things aren’t flowing the way we are used to! 🌊 • • 📸 onceuponareef

Jim Jim Falls was the most awe inspiring gorge of them all! It was late in the season so I could only imagine how expansive the waterfall would be in spring. I had a floaty and stayed in there for hours marvelling at nature's Creation 🌏

Mother Nature puts on a show like nothing else between November and April in @tourismtopend, with heavy rainfall submerging vast tracts of land and fuelling many of #Kakadu's favourite falls. #JimJimFalls (pictured in the second photo) can only be seen at this time from the air 🚁 Take to the skies with @kakaduair for jaw-dropping views of the region's ancient escarpments and waterfalls in full flow. ​​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @helloemilie! ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu

Lesser known than near by Jim Jim falls, Maguk Falls is a crystal clear waterfall surrounded by vibrant red rock cliffs. We can’t wait to explore Kakadu National Park! . . . . 📷: sophieandshaun . . . #outdoororiginals #outdoors #camping #campinglife #outdoorliving #campingaustralia #vanlife #campfire #vanlifeaustralia #australia #australianmade #enamelmugs #mugs #kitchen #reuse #reusable #waterfall #conciousliving #campingmugs #mountainlife #bushwalkingaustralia #hiking #kakadu #kakadunationalpark

The colossal Jim Jim Falls is Kakadu’s biggest waterfall. At 200m 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.

Can only imagine what Jim Jim falls looks like during the wet season! Watch out for the resident freshwater croc 🐊 as I was walking over the rocks to this private beach I heard a loud dinosaur like growl. This other woman and I turned to each other and said “what the hell was that?!” We convinced ourselves it was nothing, not sure where the croc could have hidden to be honest. I still went for a swim (freshwater crocs are usually harmless) and on the walk back I got hissed at in the same spot. After speaking to a ranger he said there’s about a 1 meter croc over there who likes to growl at people 🤣 but it’s still safe to swim!

Talk about an epic way to see the force of nature in action 🤯! You know it's the tropical summer season in tourismtopend when the waterfalls are in full flow 💦 Captured here by chechorleyphoto, this impressive sight is Jim Jim Falls, tucked away in ntaustralia's seekakadu National Park. The falls are best seen from the air from November through to April, so book a scenic flight with kakaduair, katherineaviation or thescenicflightcompany and witness the magic of Bininj/Mungguy Country from above 🚁 #seeaustralia #ntaustralia #tourismtopend #holidayherethisyear

Yesterday was unreal. Besides seeing Gandalfs horse went for a hike to Jim Jim Falls. Didn't really do any research on what the swimming hole would be like like but boy oh boy. Absolute mind bend of a spot with the towering cliffs and cold water at the base. I didn't take a camera with me to the main swimming spot so the last photo is by livelovelaughexplore_ Spent around 3 hours floating around in the natural amphitheatre. Today I've been looking at rock art in Kakadu (some 5000 recorded art sites, I've seen 2) which is also a mind bend. Just how old the place is and how long the indigenous people have lived here is a bit overwhelming.

📍JimJim Falls, Kakadu NP . A hike across crocky 🐊 rivers and through butterfly 🦋 forests, up steep rocky 🪨 paths and along hot 🥵 flats, to find this beautiful view at the top 🏞 . Hike time recommended: 6 hours Hike time when short on time: 2.5 hours 💪
