Litchfield National Park
Chasing Waterfalls in Litchfield National Park
Spending two days in Litchfield National Park gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes of the Northern Territory. Known for its incredible waterfalls and swimming spots, the park is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Top End.
We started our adventure at Florence Falls, where a short walk through monsoon forest led us to a breathtaking twin waterfall cascading into a deep swimming hole. After weeks in the outback, taking a dip in the cool water felt like heaven. The surrounding cliffs made it feel secluded, even with a few other visitors.
Next, we explored Buley Rockhole, just a short drive away. A series of smaller pools and cascades created the perfect spot to relax and let the flowing water wash over us. It’s easy to spend hours here, moving between pools and enjoying the lush surroundings.
Day two took us to Wangi Falls, one of the park’s most iconic spots. The falls were in full flow, and the pool below was perfect for swimming. We spent the afternoon soaking in the scenery, with the sound of rushing water creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Tolmer Falls, with its dramatic drop and restricted access, offered a different perspective. While swimming isn’t allowed, the lookout provided stunning views and a quiet place to reflect on our adventure.
Each waterfall in Litchfield has its own charm, and two days gave us a taste of what makes this park so special. With well-maintained tracks and crystal-clear water, it’s a paradise for nature lovers. Litchfield left us refreshed and amazed, proving again that the Top End is full of unforgettable experiences. If you’re visiting, pack your swimmers and prepare for a journey through one of Australia’s natural treasures.
