Episode Details

Kakadu’s crown jewels—Jim Jim and Twin Falls—are shut for the dry season as Parks Australia tackles vital road upgrades with traditional owners’ input, aiming for completion by December. The closure hits hard: Twin Falls gorge, escarpment walk, and Karnamarr campground are off-limits, while Jim Jim Falls Road gets gravel-standard upgrades for safety. Local tour operators are reeling, with one reporting 70% booking drops, blaming timing and comparing the blow to COVID’s impact. Still, the park itself remains open—offering plenty of other wonders to explore while essential work happens.
