2nd August
This is definitely one of my favourite places that we have visited so far. The area is at the opposite end of the same National Park that Katherine Gorge is in, and has a number of beautiful waterfalls and plunge pools.
The lower pool is huge, surrounded by tall limestone cliffs. It is particularly beautiful in the afternoon watching the colours change as the sun sets.
The upper falls has beautiful clear water and big high rocks that the kids loved climbing and jumping off. The water was cold – but so clear and refreshing.
Today we did an 8 km return hike further up the river to 2 more waterholes. Both were lovely and one had a nice little beach area where we stopped for lunch.
