A stunning tiered waterfall and swimming complex in the southern section of Nitmiluk National Park, 42km north of Katherine. The main lower pool is croc-free and idyllic. An upper pool reached by a 2.6km walk through woodland is more secluded. One of the most consistently beautiful swimming spots in the NT. Edith Falls is the most accessible and picturesque swimming hole in Nitmiluk. The surrounding woodland camping area makes this a favourite NT overnight stop.
