after a steep climb you'll be rewarded with unparalleled
views of the Kakadu escarpment. Allow 1.5 hours.

Just a bit further
along the Kakadu Highway you'll see the turn
off to the left to Mirrai - a lookout.
Its a ½ - 1 hour
reasonably steep walk to the top of a hill which
offers extensive views over central Kakadu.
This can be a
moderate to difficult 3.6 kilometre returning
walk/hike to an inclined rocky platform lookout
on top of Mount Cahill.
Being a difficult
and in places steep climb and you should consider
allowing 1.5-2 hours to complete.
