Part of the Yurmikmik walks, the long trek to Motor Car Falls is worth the effort.
This small waterfall is a particular favourite in the tropical summer, when Kakadu's larger falls tend to be inaccessible.
Motor Car Creek is surrounded by lush monsoon forest and is a shady retreat for the NT heat. Take it easy on the gravel road there and back.
7.5 km return | 4 hours
See it: Almost year round. May close in the peak of tropical summer.
