Check conditions
A remote waterfall and swimming hole reached via a 4WD-only track (Reynolds Track) and a 1.7km walk through seasonally flooded country. The falls cascade into a beautiful hidden pool flanked by sandstone walls. Far fewer visitors than the main Litchfield circuit. Croc-free and excellent for swimming. Tjaynera Falls is Litchfield's best-kept secret — equally beautiful to Wangi and Florence but rarely crowded due to 4WD access requirements.
Plan your visit
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.
