At the Gunlom and Maguk waterfalls, just like in *Mr Crocodile Dundee*

In the Mary River region, although the landscape is characterised by rocky outcrops and sprawling swamps, you can treat yourself to a relaxing dip beneath invigorating waterfalls. This is particularly true at Gunlom Falls, situated on the territory of the Jawoyn people and made famous by the film *Mr Crocodile Dundee*: you can swim beneath the imposing cascade at its base, surrounded by a pristine sandy beach and crystal-clear waters, or set off on a walk that leads to the top, where you’ll find relaxing natural infinity pools. Maguk Falls are also well worth a visit, as you reach them by walking through a monsoon forest, venturing deep into it until you find yourself before a natural pool where you can cool off and recharge from the dry heat. Staying at Cooinda Lodge is the best accommodation option, not least because of the quality of the Barra Bistro restaurant, where the atmosphere is always lively. So, the following day, you can wake up early to meet the rangers at the Burrungkuy rock art site and be among the first to admire the paintings hidden in the rocks – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – created by the Bininj people, who draw inspiration from the flora and fauna of Kakadu National Park: you’ll need to follow a track before coming across Namarrgon (the Lightning Man), considered the ancestor of creation. Later on, you can also head for the iconic rock of Arnhem Land.
