📍 Jim Jim Falls
Nayuhyungki, the creation ancestors, travelled across this area. 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.
