- This week we tackle the southern part of Kakadu. Its amazing that there is still beautiful water to swim in this late in the dry season. We experience more negative behavior from others in the park, but have got to say the place is really special. Unfortunately Gumlom falls and camping was closed at the time, but still plenty to see in the park.

Another fantastic video. 👍👍👍
well done guys..Safe travels until next week....that qld border is looming and so is that furry family member at home..be safe stay happy until then.
Thanks Wayne, it's been a amazing adventure but unfortunately all good things must come to a end 😢
The old nemesis... bloody corrugated roads !
The old aussie favourite
Great vid guys
Keep em coming!
You deserve a dollar for every corrugate that poor old Nissan has dealt with !!!
Thanks Scott, it would be a million dollar patrol 😃
Awesome 😎
Thanks for the support Matt👍
Love your kids, living the great Aussie life style family💫👏💫
Thanks Jen, they are great kids. We are so lucky. They have been doing it tough and they are just taking it in their stride
Thanks for sharing what a beast the Patriot is well done
Thanks Bob. She's a good old rig. I don't know if I could ever part with it. It's a family member.
We would rather rock up than prebook you never know what may happen along the way plus you just may need time to take it all in, so yer first in best dressed. Another great episode please keep up the great work.
Thanks Terry for the support. You are 100% right, hate rushing to get into a booked site, driving past something amazing because you have no extra time
👍
Thanks mate 👍
Great video GO! I too prefer to rock up and pay at the box, especially when it's remote areas.
Thanks Clay, something to be said for being spontaneous when in a remote area. Trying to work out when you will be at a specific camp hundreds of kilometres away is painful
Great vid guy's,brings back a lot of great memories of these places
and our old lifestyle.Thanks👍😎
Cheers Doug. It's a fantastic place and so much better than we expected. I would really love to come back and stay even longer
First in best dressed in my opinion. Just finished Cape York, and the Qld system is a right royal pain. How the hell can one plan the campsites without knowledge of road conditions, weather etc etc, and with zero mobile coverage… bring back the on site tags with honesty box.
Fantastic videos 😎
Exactly, it is such problem when on a long trip. It's OK if it's a weekend trip and you stay at 1 site. But when you have so many variables, it's a headache thanks David
Great episode guys, water looked awesome
Thanks Heinz it was amazing, just a pity that our gopro 9 has a cracked rear screen and we have to use the gopro 5 in the water.
You guys are really living the dream!
Thanks Tribar 90. It was a lot of work to do this trip, but so worth it.
Amazing adventure.
Thanks Taste, it has been fantastic and more great spots to come.
Another great episode guys. Heading back into Qld soon? Safe travels
Thanks Kev, and yep. Unfortunately every adventure must end sooner or later 😢
What a great opportunity to get to see Twin falls. We loved swimming at Jim Jim after the hike as it was a warm day for us too. We love winging it and not too much pre planning. Yellow water is amazing! We saw birds, crocs, buffalo and brumbies.
Yeah it was definitely worth the walk, and from what the ranger told us it's closed more than open. Thanks Clover.
Hi guys, first in best dressed is the go. Arnhem Land is regulated by pre- booking the sites and I can tell you ... it's frustrating!!! The most popular campsites are generally pre-booked months in advance...and..a lot of the time.. no-one even turns up!. I found this out by going for day visits. Even folks from Gove are at Wits end with it all. Anyways..another great episode guys! Safe travels!. Just a heads-up...I made it back to WA, however, I'm in mandatory Isolation at home for another 9 days. Cheers!
Oh what, they are so strict over there! But it is keeping Covid out of the state. I think they have to change it, so many times people just can't get to their booking on time, yet travellers like us can't book until a day out, so we have no chance.
Fantastic episode
Thanks Charlotte, it is so amazing in Kakadu we just had to stay longer
great quality video !! definitely prefer just rock up ! first in best dressed ! where's the adventure otherwise ? and also there could be limited services to book online .. / booked and no one there ? and also the low cost .
So true Brent. It is really a bad system. Different if you are going for a weekend not far from home, but for everyone else it's a pain.
Great clip again guys. Definitely one to wing it instead of booking. The missus hates it!
Thanks Drew, it's a really pain trying to work out exactly when you might be at a site.
Another great video. So many spectacular locations. 🙂
Thanks Paul, Kakadu was so good we couldn't leave.
Great episode, really enjoyable watch!
Thanks Vince, we are getting better every week, and great fun going to these beautiful places
Terrible you’ve only got a few weeks remaining. Really enjoyed this series. How’s the BFG all terrains holding up after the hard work they endured?
Thanks Conelli it's been a amazing adventure but 😢. The bfgs are great, only that 1 puncture on the Gibb. Little stone damage, wearing great too
Great footage! When did you do this trip to Jim Jim and Twin Falls?
Heya, great video as always.
I like your idea of half the camp ground precooked and the other half just rock up.
Question , what books or apps would you recommend not only in Kakadu National Park but your whole trip planning and information?
We are planning to go away for 6 months next year from Apri,l our first stop is Fraser Island. Then cap York, after that we will be heading west.
Many thanks for your video's.

The main app we use is wiki camps while travelling. But we did most of the research at home before leaving writing notes in a A4 book and have a schedule of places we really wanted to see. We did most of the research watching CZcams videos where we could actually see what places looked like. Then we could see on wikicamps where camp spots, water and other things where in that particular area.
@@GoingOverland Thanks for that.
How much did you pre book?
And if you did how far ahead?
Looking forward to your next video 👍.

Love all the swimming holes, my only concern is leeches. Have u guys ever get leeches?
Not on this lap, in the rainforest areas of NSW and Queensland they are more likely. No ticks either.
@@GoingOverland omg than its a dream swimming holes then. Soo many leeches in nsw even small rain too. Hence why I always hesitate to jump in.
How do you assess the safety to swim? I was at Jim Jim falls earlier this year but my partner was overly cautious and didn’t swim as she was concerned a salty may have got back in. I wasn’t as concerned as was confident the rangers were on top of it, however I didn’t swim out of her concerns.
We have a good talk to the rangers first. See where everyone else has been swimming, make sure the water is clear and we have a good look. Only swim in water holes, not rivers, creeks, Billabongs.
Will u guys be home for good or going too continue the journey
We are never at home for long, usually I get restless after 2 weeks 😅 already planning the next 3 trips
First in best dressed. Pre booking is rubbish.
Totally agree Ken. It's so hard to work out what day exactly you might be there, especially when you are 1000km away
How can you let your kids swim there, are you crazy, its not 100% safe and the rangers could have missed a croc in there.
