Jim Jim Falls, Plunge waterfall in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
The waterfall descends 200 meters over red sandstone cliffs into a natural pool surrounded by white sand and monsoon forests.
The escarpment wall of Jim Jim Falls formed ancient sea cliffs 140 million years ago when much of Kakadu remained under shallow waters.
The name originates from the Aboriginal Kundjeyhmi word 'andjimdjim', referring to water pandanus plants growing along the creek banks.
Access requires a four-wheel drive vehicle through a 60-kilometer gravel road from Kakadu Highway, with the final 11 kilometers presenting challenging terrain.
The falls transform between seasons, flowing powerfully during wet months but becoming completely dry in other periods, making aerial views essential.
