RV TRAVEL
LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK
Litchfield National Park is often compared to
Kakadu, though its terrain and size are entirely
different. The Tabletop Range is carved by spring-
fed creeks like the Florence, and sliced open by
the Reynolds, the Adelaide and the Finniss rivers.
RVers can base themselves in comfort in or near
Batchelor (such as Litchfield Tourist Park) and
spend several days exploring Litchfield's many
scenic wonders. The sealed road leads to the
fascinating Magnetic Termite Mounds.
Next are the refreshing swimming holes and
natural spas of Buley Rockhole and then Florence
Falls with a nearby campground. Tolmer Falls
is picturesque with a viewing platform and a
bushwalk to the top of the falls. Down the winding
road to the base of the park is Wangi Falls with a
basic caravan campground and a huge swimming
hole.
For the experienced four-wheel-driver, another
day of touring leads to The Lost City with a walk
at the end and plenty of birdlife along the way.
Another 4WD track, with several fairly deep
creek crossings, leads to Blyth Homestead and
then on to Sandy Creek Falls. Park your 4WD and
take the 3.4km walk bordering a clear creek to
the perfect falls and grotto for a picnic lunch and
a swim. Litchfield's swimming holes are all croc-
free, something Kakadu can never lay claim to!
