Gunlom Falls

Gunlom Falls is a 30 m (100 ft) high waterfall located in the Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is also known as UDP Falls or Waterfall Creek. The falls are situated in the Mary River area in the southern, less visited part of Kakadu. It is perhaps famous for making an appearance on the movie Crocodile Dundee.

Depending on the time of the year, Gunlom Falls is anything between a roaring waterfall and a gentle trickle falling down the cliffs. This plunge pool at the bottom of the falls is one of the most picturesque places at Kakadu and a popular swimming hole free of saltwater crocodiles. A steep 15-minute climb leads to the top of the falls, with spectacular views over the southern region of the park. There is also a series of swimming holes at the top of the falls that are popular.

Gunlom is about a 40 km drive in from the Kakadu Highway on a gravel road, just inside the southern entry to the park. During the wet season (December to April) access is restricted. There is also a campground located near the falls. [http://www.tourismnt.com.au/nt/nttc/news/travel_stories/ps/ps_kakadu.html]
