Gunlom Falls
Gunlom is one of Kakadu National Park's most cherished attractions, famously featured in Crocodile Dundee and located on Jawoyn country. Visitors can embark on a hike to the peaceful plunge pools at the summit, where stunning panoramic views of the park unfold. For a more leisurely experience, you can swim beneath the dramatic cascade of the waterfall at the base, surrounded by a pristine sandy beach and crystal-clear waters. Top Pools (Gunlom Plunge Pools Above the Falls) A steep 15–20‑minute climb up the new stone‑stepped track leads to the famed upper rock pools—a series of clear, terraced “infinity” pools that spill gently over smooth sandstone. Here, visitors can soak in waist‑deep water while gazing across Kakadu’s vast stone country, woodlands, and winding waterways. The elevated perch makes these pools a favourite for sunrise and sunset, rewarding the effort with panoramic views, solitude, and some of the park’s most iconic photo opportunities.

Enoggera Reservoir Circuit
This is a great walk through mostly canopied forest that skirts around Enoggera Reservoir. There are some quite steep hills which will be a challenge if you are not very fit, but most of the walk is easy. Glimpses of the reservoir, lots of beautiful trees, the odd encounter with wildlife make for a very enjoyable couple of hours. From the carpark follow the signs to the Arcauria walk and when you reach the swimming area at the reservoir take the MTB trail and you will be on the right track to complete the circuit. The information board lists this as the Reservoir Trail which is the name of the road you traverse but notes it is an up and back. You can definitely make it a circuit with some suburb walking. It is best to call into the Information Centre at Walk About Creek before starting this walk as they have detailed instructions on navigating the bit of suburb walking required to complete the circuit. It's also useful to have the topographical map as the hike isn't on marked trails - it would be difficult to get lost - but it's possible! If you are doing a circuit then just keep taking Left hand turns if going anti clockwise! After reaching the dam wall keep on the left until you reach the transport hub (The Gap), The parking area has an exit that leads to the Walkabout Creek area with proper walkways.
