Motor Car Falls

Kakadu NT

Part of the Yurmikmik walks, the long trek to Motor Car Falls is worth the effort. This small waterfall is a particular favourite in the tropical summer, when Kakadu's larger falls tend to be inaccessible. Motor Car Creek is surrounded by lush monsoon forest and is a shady retreat for the NT heat.
