A cluster of walking trails in the southern Kakadu escarpment near Gunlom, including the Motor Car Falls track (3.3km return) and Kurrundie Creek walk. These trails see a fraction of the visitor traffic of the northern Kakadu sites and reward with secluded waterfalls and pools. The Yurmikmik trails are Kakadu's best-kept secret. Motor Car Falls is comparable in beauty to Jim Jim Falls with far fewer visitors.
