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.

Each location is scored from existing data: visitor ratings & review volume (social proof), official verification, amenities, safety warnings, access friction (permits/4WD), and how fresh the info is.
We show a score once a place has at least 5 visitor reviews. Until then the facts on this page come from official sources and site data — no score is invented.
