YELLOW WATERS REGION
The Yellow Waters region, which includes
Cooinda, is 20km further. Cooinda Lodge
includes a caravan park that can get very
crowded during the height of the season with
its swimming pool, restaurants and Yellow
Waters Cruises.

A quieter bush-camping option (with facilities)
is Mardugal, 6km further.
Yellow Waters Cruises is named for the colour
of the water at sunset, perhaps the best time
to do the cruise. It really is not to be missed.
If you have a 4WD, you can access the Jim Jim
and Twin Falls region from Cooinda (60km
one-way from Kakadu Highway), or you can
camp at Garnamarr with a tent or offroad
camper trailer.
Twin Falls is closed through 2020 for
upgrades, but Jim Jim is a perfectly rewarding
experience all on its own. If you are lucky
enough to camp at Garnamarr, you simply
travel along a sandy 4WD track for 10km to
the Jim Jim parking area, and then scramble
over rocks along a path to the falls and a
plunge pool (swim at your own risk).
