A short monsoon rainforest walk delivers you to this stunning location where lush vegetation and beautiful wildlife is found. A pristine waterfall that flows into a crystal clear plunge pool surrounded by steep gorge walls. Located only an hours' drive south of Cooinda and is accessed off of a 14 kilometre 4WD track off Kakadu Highway.
Maguk is a great place for all sorts of travellers. The swimming hole is absolutely beautiful and great for all ages to have a dip. Highly recommend bringing a noodle or floating device as it's deep throughout the main swimming hole. Water temperature is perfect! There is a track that leads up to the top of the falls but has been closed this dry season. Camping is a simple bush camp with drop toilets. The road in is recommended 4WD but we went slow with our Subaru Outback (AWD) and were fine. Lots of corrugations as the road isn't regularly graded.

During the sry season only. A billabong, paperbark swamps, fringing woodlands and sandstone plateau scrub feature along the Anbangbang Billabong and Nawurlandja lookout walks.Follow the yellow-tipped posts around Anbangbang Billabong to see lilies, waterbirds and stunning views of Burrunggui (Nourlangie Rock).
We parked at the Nawurlandja parking area which also gives you easy access to the glorious lookout. Sunscreen, water and insect spray recommended. The billabong is a tranquil spot, and an easy circular walk on grass takes you round the water. Lots of bird life, a few wallabies,some gorgeous views. Keep your eyes peeled - my wife almost stepped on a snake! This walk was one of our Kakadu highlights.

Just a short drive off the main road. Good parking then a short walk to the viewing platform. Platform has seating and info on the wall. Good bird life over a huge wet land area. You may need a good zoom on your camera. Lots to see, just have to be patient. Make sure you have lots of insect repellent.

Cahills Crossing is a notorious car river crossing into Arnhem Land, it is also a great place to watch crocodiles safely from the viewing platform. Usually accessible between April and October, depending on rainfall. The best time of the day to visit is at high tides, where you can see the most action among the crocodiles.
Lots crocs at high tide both at crossing and nearby ramp On dusk take aero guard!! Short stroll from car park shaded viewing area Def worth a stopover Border store close by friendly and cold drinks available

Stopped in for a look on an AAT Kings tour bus. Great visit with a huge variety of bird life visible from the "hide". Our tour guide was superb, pointing out all the different species and letting us all know what to look out for.

This short walk is well worth the hike to the old fire lookout to get a panorama perspective of the surrounding area. Here you get above the tree cover of the surrounding plains to get an overview of the area.
