10. Litchfield National Park

We spent six nights at Litchfield National Park. It is like a resort - just a series of waterholes where you can swim. We swam at Wangi Falls five times… And we sampled many other waterholes. Sumy’s cousin Grace had just joined us on our trip for about four weeks.

Wangi Falls: An early morning photo before the crowds descended (including us)

Florence Falls: An early photo before the crowds. It was not a favourite location as it is quite small and so there is just not enough space for everyone

Buley Rockhole: It is a series of shallow and deep pools stretching along a stream with multiple small waterfalls. With Wangi, this was our favourite place

Buley Rockhole: We swam here twice

Buley Rockhole: Millie enjoyed swimming up to the waterfall and then being pushed along by the current

Wangi Falls: A definite favourite. Litchfield is very popular and very crowded. Wangi has the advantage of being a large swimming space and so it can take the crowds without being crowded

Tjaetaba Falls: We were advised that this was great for sunset. Not quite as the sun does not set here. But, it had a lovely infinity pool at the top of the waterfall. It looks like I am sitting on the edge of the waterfall, but I am back quite a bit from the edge

Walker Creek: We had this swimming spot all to ourselves
