 NORTHERN TERRITORY

Litchfield National Park

Litchfield National Park protects good examples of most of the Top End habitats. It also features numerous waterfalls which cascade from a sandstone plateau called the Tabletop Range, intriguing magnetic termite mounds, historical sites, and the weathered sandstone pillars of the Lost City.

Access

Near Batchelor, 100 km south-west of Darwin, the Park is generally accessible all year (sealed roads) via Batchelor. In the dry season it is also possible to get to the Park via Cox Peninsula (unsealed road).

When to Visit

This Park is spectacular at any time, though most 4WD tracks are closed during the wet season. Some swimming areas such as Wangi Falls, become unsafe after heavy rain and are closed for swimming but kiosk and picnic facilities remain open.

What to see and Do

Camping - is available at Wangi Falls, Buley Rockhole and Florence Falls.

4WD camping areas at Tjaynera Falls (Sandy Creek), Surprise Creek Falls and below Florence Falls.

Caravan camping is restricted to Wangi Falls and no powered sites are provided.

Walk-in camping sites are available along Walker Creek (dry season only).

Most campgrounds are managed by 'Campground Services'. Camping fees apply.

Accommodation and camping - are available outside the Park at several commercial sites.

Picnicking - shady spots available at Florence Falls, Table Top Swamp, Greenant Creek, Wangi Falls and Walker Creek.

Kiosk - located at Wangi Falls

Swimming - many pleasant swimming spots are scattered throughout the Park. Popular ones include Wangi, Florence, Tjaynera Falls and Buley Rockhole.

No Swimming - in the Reynolds River

Walking - beautiful quiet walks leave from most sites. Signs in the carparks and along the tracks will show you the way. They vary from short strolls and walks of 1 to 3 km.

If you are planning an extended walk please obtain a permit prior to your visit from the PWCNT office at Batchelor. A map showing your intended route should be provided with your permit application.

Advise someone of your intended route and return date. Equip yourself well with maps and supplies.
