A 1,500 sq km national park 130km south of Darwin, famed for spring-fed waterfalls flowing year-round, magnetic termite mound fields, sandstone formations, and 4WD tracks to remote swimming holes. The main waterfalls — Wangi, Florence, Buley, Tolmer — are accessible by sealed road. Consistently voted the NT's most popular national park. Litchfield is the NT's most visited national park and the definitive Darwin day trip. Its combination of croc-safe swimming, waterfalls, and accessible nature is unmatched in the Top End.
