Gunlom and Barramundi waterfalls, Kakadu

Can anyone tell me what kind of shape the access roads are to both
Gunlom and Barramundi falls? I went up to Gunlom years ago and it was
a mean track back then, but what it's like now I don't know - I read
somehwhere or other that it's a decent gravel track these days, but
that could mean anything.

The reason I ask is that I'll be travelling to the area later this
year in a hire car with my family, and I obviously can't take the
vehicle bashing along tracks that might damage it.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

We went in july 2004 to Gunlom falls with 4WD. The track was as you expect
of a gravel road, sometimes like a washboard.
Keep your speed on the 'washboard' about 50/60 km/per hr. The
shockabsorbers/wheels will be in resonance so that your vehicle goes
'smoothly' over it.
Or try to find out the correct speed and don't be afraid on the gravel but
take care at curves and water on the road (ditches).
