litchfield national park

wangi falls

The largest falls in Litchfield are Wangi Falls, on the western edge of the Park. Here you can swim and snorkel in a large plunge pool set amidst rainforest. In the wet season, the flow of water is awe-inspiring. The falls are not accessible all year round, and swimming is sometimes prohibited during and after heavy rain, due to powerful currents in the plunge pool. An interpretive nature trail leads from the camping and barbecue area to the top of the falls and back down to the car park.

florence falls

At Florence Falls, a double waterfall cascades into a swimming hole. You can climb to a lookout for a birds-eye view down onto the falls and the surrounding area. The viewing platform is wheelchair accessible. If you want to stay for a while there is a campground with showers and toilets.

buley rockhole

Within a short walking distance of Florence Falls is Buley Rockholes. This series of spa-like pools and waterfalls is ideal for a cool dip.

lost city

The Lost City is an area of bizarre sandstone block and pillar formations which have been sculpted by wind and rain over thousands of years. Access is by 4WD vehicle only. .

magnetic termite mounds

Just off Litchfield Park Road in the northern area of the Park, you'll see 2m high, thin termite mounds which are aligned north-south, apparently to keep the inside of the mound from getting too heated by the sun (which tracks east-west). A boardwalk takes you close to these unusual natural phenomena.
