With NT 4x4 Hire, you can journey through iconic locations like Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks. Don’t miss Gunlom Falls, now reopened after a six-year closure. Thanks to the efforts of the Jawoyn people, visitors can once again swim in the breathtaking 550-foot-high infinity pool and explore an area steeped in Aboriginal heritage,  and now, 50% of the commercial revenue goes back to the traditional owners.
