This is the highlight of Kakadu for me, and I think most of the rest of the group.

Twin Falls is accessed via a dirt road and then by a hike up the sandstone walls of the park.

At the top, there are numerous tiers of rock pools. But to reach the lower ones one has to face 'The Chimney' - a narrow split between the rocks which takes a considerable amount of courage to engage first time.  To get down, you use you hands against one wall and shuffle your back down the opposite wall - its claustrophobic and there are infrequent footholds.  30m down we find ourselves overlooking the gorge and spend a couple of hours marvelling at the incredible scale of the gap carved in the sandstone over several hundred million years.

Tom takes us to our campsite - where we eat kangaroo and crocodile stir fry.  And Tom breaks out a harmonica and guitar to sing us a few local ballads - turns out he was a busker in years gone by!  He tells us of how one day a guy put a dollar in his hat as he played, then returned ten minutes later, and took the dollar back.  After this, Tom decided to become a tour guide and sticks to singing Paul Kelly around the campfire...
