Tucked away in the southern hills of Kakadu, Motor Car Falls is a hidden gem 💦🌿
Accessible via a scenic walk through lush forest, this stunning waterfall offers a tranquil plunge pool perfect for a refreshing swim.
Peaceful, remote, and totally worth the walk.

From the murky waters of Yellow Water Billabong to the tidal surge at Cahills Crossing, these ancient predators rule with quiet power and prehistoric presence 🐊.

With over 10,000 crocs living in the park, spotting one (or ten) is all part of the adventure. Just remember... in Kakadu, you’re in their territory. Watch from a safe distance, respect the warning signs, and enjoy the thrill of seeing these living dinosaurs in the wild.
