Litchfield Surrounds

Litchfield National Park is an easy hour-and-a-half journey from Darwin, and is one of the Top End's hidden treasures.

This unspoiled wilderness boasts monsoon rainforests, cascading waterfalls, diverse flora and fauna and impressive natural formations. Travellers can cool off with a swim in the plunge pool below Florence Falls, wade through a series of rocky pools at Buley Rockhole, view magnetic termite mounds, visit Wangi Falls and Tolmer Falls, or explore the sandstone towers of the Lost City.

Litchfield National Park's closest service point is Batchelor, offering a range of accommodation and facilities. Have a snack at the Butterfly and Bird Farm, drop into the Coomalie Cultural Centre to browse its presentation of indigenous arts and crafts, or admire Batchelor's miniature replica of Karlstein Castle.
