A massive sandstone plateau, scattered with pockets of verdant rainforest, impressive waterfalls and cool, crystal pools, Litchfield National Park epitomizes the true beauty of the Top End.
The cliffs surrounding the plateau create spectacular perennial waterfalls of which the most breathtaking, hidden in a pocket of monsoon forest, are the double Florence Falls and the stunning Tolmer Falls, home to a rare colony of orange horseshoe bats.
Wildlife
Estuarine crocodiles skulk in some of the waters (warning signs are clearly posted where necessary) hoping to get a bite of such animals as the antelopine wallaroo, and the lush growth is filled with an array of birds that are as colorful as they are noisy.
One of the park’s unique attractions are groups of narrow ‘magnetic’ termite mounds that eerily resemble bush graveyards. Constructed by millions of termites, all are precisely aligned to catch the sun and many are over a hundred years old.
Reached in just under two hours from Darwin this is one of the Top End’s most accessible parks.
