Motor Car Falls

Motor Car and Kurrundie Creek Walk

Follow the old vehicle track past Yurmikmik lookout to Kurrundie Creek, then follow the creek upstream to Kurrundie Falls.

At this spectacular place you may see ngalmirla-mirla (peregrine falcon) flying from the cliffs.

Also keep an eye out for barrk (black wallaroo) amongst the rocks.

Follow the creek downstream through more falls to the South Alligator River. Saltwater crocodiles live in the river so do not swim there. Return to the carpark by following Motor Car Creek to the old bridge and vehicle track.

14 km return | 10 hours, overnight walk

Moderate walk on unmarked tracks

Carry a GPS or a compass and topographic map

Camping permit required.
