Waterfall Creek Falls


The Waterfall Creek Falls is a cascading waterfall on the Waterfall Creek located in the Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia. The falls are also known as UDP Falls and are perhaps most famous for making an appearance in the movie Crocodile Dundee.

Location and features

The falls descend from an elevation of above sea level and range in height between and are located in the Mary River area in the southern part of Kakadu, less visited by tourists.
Depending on the time of the year, the Waterfall Creek Falls range from a roaring waterfall to a gentle trickle falling down the cliffs. This plunge pool at the bottom of the falls is one of the most visited places in the Kakadu National Park and a popular swimming hole free of saltwater crocodiles.
A steep 15-minute climb leads to the top of the falls, with views over the southern region of the park. There is also a series of swimming holes at the top of the falls. The Waterfall Creek Falls is approximately from the Kakadu Highway on a gravel road, just inside the southern entry to the park. During the wet season, access is restricted. There is also a campground located near the falls.
