4th August
We spent our first 2 nights in Kakadu at Gunlom Campsite. It was a lovely campsite with 2 beautiful swimming areas – a series of natural infinity edge pools up on the escarpment and a huge plunge pool with a sandy beach at the bottom of the waterfall.
Later in the week we did a daytrip to Maguk, which is also in the Southern area. This plunge pool that is my favourite of the trip so far. The pool was super clear and fed by natural spring water flowing down from a pretty waterfall. The water was just the right temperature – cool and refreshing, without being too cold like fresh water often is.
The kids loved all the ledges and spent hours jumping off the rocks.
The south also has some pretty amazing termite mounds
Kakadu is one of the few National Parks that we’ve been to that have allowed fires. The kids love building and lighting the fire every night. They also had a great dusty game of soccer with some other boys they met. Loving life in the bush!!
