litchfield national park

Open eucalyptus woodland, dense tropical rainforest and magnetic termite mounds are found in Litchfield National Park, which is just 130 km south west of Darwin. In the dry season you can easily get to most of the waterfalls that plunge from the rocky escarpment of the Table Top Range that plunge into refreshing pools. During the wet, some roads, waterfalls and pools are closed to the public because of flooding. A few areas of Litchfield Park are only accessible in a 4WD, but most attractions can be visited at any time of year with a 2WD. The walking tracks are no longer than 2 kilometres; some are suitable for wheelchairs. There are no fees for admission, but if you want to stay overnight camping fees do apply.
