After the cruise and lunch, make our way to Nourlangie rock art site and explore the various galleries, with insightful interpretation of the art and the rich Aboriginal cultural history of the area from your guide.

Day 2: Jim Jim Gorge & Twin Falls
After breakfast, drive out of camp to begin a truly enjoyable day exploring the majestic beauty of Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Access to Jim Jim Gorge is by a 900 metre walk over rocks. The falls may not flow throughout the dry season, but if there has been a reasonable wet season they will still be running up until late August and the plunge pool at the base of Jim Jim provides the opportunity for a welcome swim throughout the year. The surrounding gorges are a spectacle to behold as the rock colours continuously change with the sun's position. Access to Twin Falls is by a short easy stroll to the edge of the stream and then a short boat trip up the gorge area to the beach at the base of these beautiful falls, with time to relax in the spectacular scenery that you are bound to remember for a long time. Return to Hawk Dreaming this afternoon. BLD
