A magnificent pair of waterfalls plunging over a towering sandstone escarpment into a gorge pool in Kakadu National Park. Reaching the falls involves a scenic boat ride across the plunge pool followed by a boardwalk through monsoon forest. The scale of the falls and surrounding cliffs is awe-inspiring especially early in the dry season when water volumes are at their peak. One of the great natural spectacles of the Top End.
