When you get to the end of the 4WD track, it's just another km or so on foot to get into the gorge proper. It is still beautiful at this time of year, even if the falls have completely dried up until the monsoon arrives in a few weeks time.

Jim Jim Gorge
We head for the high country of Kakadu first thing this morning. Getting there requires a 4WD and it's 55km from where you leave the sealed road until you reach the gorge. As you can see, our vehicle was more of a soccer mom SUV than a hard core muck mobile. And though it was well up to the job on the sort of gravel pictured here, it was at its limit over the last 10km or so where it gets kinda hairy at times.
