LitchfieldLitchfield National Park, on Darwin's doorstep, is a myriad of glistening rock pools and gushing waterfalls, surrounded with lush monsoon forest. Much like the many native birds, visitors to the NT flock here year round, eager to cool in the cascades. Day-trippers love to picnic at the idyllic Florence and Wangi Falls, before setting off on a walking trail. A trip to the viewing platform of the massive Tolmer Falls is a must-do. An easy hour and a half’s drive from the capital, the majority of Litchfield is accessible by car, but if you want to access some of the less visited sites, like Tjaynera Falls and the Lost City, you’ll need a 4wd. Not far from the cascades, you’ll spy the unusual magnetic termite mounds. These thin towers, all aligned north to south, are intriguing - take a guided tour to discover their secrets. |
