Day 56 – 26/6/2012 – Gunlom Falls
After a sleep in we set off to do the 1km return steep and difficult walk to the top of Gunlom falls. It took a little while to do due to how steep it was.

| There is a track there somewhere! |

| The view back to the camp ground nearly at the top. |
The plunge pools at the top were absolutely fantastic. The water was cool but not icey. You could stay in for a while without going numb not like in some of the North Queensland waterfalls where we have swum.

| An awesome infinity pool! |

After the decent it was so hot I took a chance and went for a swim at the bottom of the falls. Hopefully I wasn't swimming with any crocs!

| Me cooling off and Jodie keeping an eye out for crocs! |
The afternoons were reaching 28 to 30deg and over night it was dropping to between 15 and 20deg. Very pleasant, especially when there is a beautiful rock pool to swim in!
Ever since we entered Kakadu there was a smoke haze in the air and it just seemed to hang around the camp site. Everyone lighting their nightly fires also didn't help.
