Our day trip to Twin Falls was an adventure. It is a 4WD
track that has a river crossing. Our very first river crossing! The Prado
did great- no dramas. It was 1 hour on a dirt road, then another hour on a
single track 4WD road, then a short boat
ride through the gorge, followed by a rock scramble before eventually arriving
at a very beautiful waterfall and waterhole. It reminded me a bit of the movie ‘The
Beach’ in that it seemed like a hidden treasure that was hard to get to and not
many people experience . We stayed for a while before heading back and doing it
all in reverse. It was a really hot day and the only downside of the place is
that you can’t swim there.

Great pics, and love the adventure you're on!! Im pretty sure that we swam at twin falls many years ago... maybe someone got eaten in the meantime??!!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan- you could swim here until about 6 years ago apparently. No one got eaten but people were damaging the environment, ie disturbing turtle nests, leaving film of sunscreen on the water, so they closed it. They say it is because of croc risk but ranger and tour guides both said they haven't ever seen crocs in the area. But I'm not willing to take that risk! Also there was a $5500 fine so that is a big deterrent!
DeleteAh ok!! So I would have swum there.. glad to hear no one has been eaten. Unfortunately last week someone up near Darwin I think, was eaten.. think they were having a party and he was dared to swim in the river...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, keep enjoying your AMAZING trip, Im loving following you around! xx
