Surfers Point
I suggest checking the surf conditions before you go, especially if you're a beginner. The waves can get pretty intense, so waiting for the right day can really make your experience a lot better
If you're looking to save some cash on food, there's a great picnic area just a short walk from the beach. Grab some snacks from the local grocery store instead of pricey cafes. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!
Horizontal Falls
Lake Cave
don't forget to bring a small waterproof bag for your phone or camera, especially if you're planning on getting close to the water. i almost ruined my phone taking a picture!
Bring a light jacket! It can be surprisingly cool down there, even in the summer. I regretted not having one after a few minutes in the cave
Ngilgi Cave
I think the audio guide is super helpful, but I suggest bringing your own headphones to avoid sharing those old ones they have. Also, it cuts down on wait time if you go when it first opens at 9 AM.
i recommend taking your time to enjoy the light show in the main chamber. i rushed through it and regretted not stopping to really appreciate the colors and formations. trust me, it's worth a few extra minutes!
Kakadu National Park
I recommend checking out the cultural sites early in the day, like the Nourlangie Rock Art. I did it in the morning, and it was way less crowded, making for a better experience
The Pinnacles National Park
check the weather before you go. if it's too hot or windy, it can really change your experience out in the open. i found the best days were mild and sunny
Pink Lake
Purnululu National Park
If you're planning to camp, bring your own firewood! I found it super pricey to buy it at the park. Plus, make sure you grab a good map at the visitor center since some trails can be tricky to navigate
I suggest heading out early, like around 7 AM, to beat the heat. You'll also get stunning sunrise views over the Bungle Bungles! It’s totally worth setting that alarm.
