What does one have to do around here to get noticed? 👀🐊🦅
A croc? Check. Actually dozens!
A bird? Check. Actually hundreds!
An incredible wetland backdrop? Obviously.
Meanwhile, the wildlife of Yellow Water Billabong is just casually going about its day, completely unfazed by all the attention. Honestly, we’re not sure who’s the star of the show either. 🤷♀️

Three swimming holes. One very difficult decision. 💦
If you could cool off in one of these Kakadu swimming spots, which would you choose?
💧 Maguk - a beautiful plunge pool tucked beneath towering cliffs, reached by a scenic walk through monsoon forest.
💦 Motorcar Falls - a secluded waterfall and swimming hole surrounded by Kakadu’s rugged landscape. The perfect reward after the walk in.
🌿 Gunlom - famous for its spectacular natural infinity pools, perched high above the landscape with views across Kakadu.
Three very different swimming experiences. One unforgettable national park.
So… Maguk, Motorcar or Gunlom? 👇
