Gunlom Plunge Pool

Imagine an infinity pool at a resort but replace the concrete with natural rocks, and chlorinated water with the fresh waterfall variety, and then add stupendous wilderness views and you’ve got Gunlom Plunge Pool in Kakadu National Park. From the top of Gunlom you’re rewarded with sweeping vistas of three habitats of the southern hills and ridges of the park - stone country, woodland and riparian (riverine) areas. Located on Waterfall Creek the best way to enjoy this walk is to bring your lunch and enjoy the grassed, shady picnic area after a dip. If you're staying over at the popular camping area (not far from the pool and waterfall), you'll find solar-powered hot showers. Australian Traveller voted the Gunlom Top Pools within Australia's Top 100 best views and Hooroo has also voted Gunlom as a finalist in Australia's 'Secret Spots'. Although you could argue that these falls were no longer a secret after they featured in the film, Crocodile Dundee.
