Kakadu has been on our ‘bucket list’ for many years, we thought what better way to begin summer holidays than to escape the cold weather and head to the Top End of Australia.

Kakadu has been on our ‘bucket list’ for many years, we thought what better way to begin summer holidays than to escape the cold weather and head to the Top End of Australia.
Its coming into that wonderful time of the season when major attractions are opening!
My wife and I visited Kakadu in January 2013, this was our third time there in the past three years.
We set off early afternoon from Gagudju Lodge Cooinda heading towards Gubara in search of the famous Leichhardt’s grasshopper that we had heard so much about!
Waking up in the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn was a different experience this Christmas! The pillow menu made it hard for me to make it down to for breakfast!
📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Gunlom opening delayed
Due to significant rainfall over recent days, Gunlom is unable to open as planned on Saturday 31 May. Strong water flows in the top pools and over the falls have made this area unsafe for visitors to access. Water levels have subsequently risen in the lower pool and adjacent creeks.
There is flooding across lower parts of Gunlom with some boardwalks and walking trails under water, and excess water has also impacted the access roads. Due to the location of Gunlom, it is also anticipated that additional water flows from the region may continue to impact the site.
Traditional Owners have been consulted and agree that the site is not able to be opened at present. We understand this will be disappointing news and want to assure the community that as soon as conditions allow, Kakadu National Park staff will commence work to clear debris and repair any damage to roads. The area will be monitored closely and further updates provided, including the new opening date.
Thank you for your understanding.

Sunset at the Ubirr Lookout is one of the most special experiences in Kakadu National Park. From the top, you can take in the Nadab floodplain, hear the evening bird song, and see wallabies dart through the escarpment.

📍Upper Ikoymarrwa Falls 💦🍃
Remote, refreshing, and totally worth the climb. One of those spots that feels like your own little secret.
