The most remote section of the Nitmiluk gorge system — accessible only by multi-day kayak expedition. The upper gorges are pristine wilderness where freshwater crocodiles and rock wallabies are common. Camping on sandy beaches between gorges. One of the NT's great adventure experiences. Few visitors ever see Nitmiluk's upper gorges. The 3-day kayak journey to reach them is the NT's most complete gorge wilderness experience.
