Day 44: Kakadu National Park (Day 3)

Today was our last full day in the park. This time we headed south to Gunlom plunge pool and it's natural infinity pool. It was a dusty, bumpy road in but well worth the effort. Once at the car park we were unable to have a look at the lower plunge pool as it was closed due to a saltwater crocodile that has moved in. We heard that this crocodile has been tricky to catch, so until they do the pool remains closed. Fun fact: this plunge pool is also the location for "Echo Lake" from the original Crocodile Dundee movie.

Since the bottom pool was closed we headed up to the stairs to the upper pools. The water was a perfect temperature not warm like the hot springs and not cold that it took your breath away to get in. We spent several hours hanging around the pools, eating lunch, and the kids spent ages building dams and playing in the water.

This was a lovely way to finish our time in Kakadu National Park.
