Your guide has a wealth of experience to help you understand everything there is to know about Litchfield, situated two hours from Darwin.
Enter Litchfield from the west. Your entertainment here is the grand spectacle of beautiful Wangi Falls. Savor homemade mango muffins as you pause for morning tea or coffee and listen to the soundtrack of thundering falls plunging over the rocky cliff face 120 feet above.
Move to Tolmer Falls -- the highest waterfall in Litchfield with an expansive view out across the plains below. This is a great place to appreciate the 1.5 billion years of geological forces that have crafted this landscape.
In contrast, the Tabletop Wetlands, perched serenely on top of a plateau, is the perfect place to be still. Listen for birds, decipher the reflections in the water, and watch the playful lizards in the understory.
Next is Florence Falls and Buley Rockhole. Water temperatures of around 77 degrees beacon travelers in for a swim.
Discover the termite mounds that have been ever-present on your journey. The colossal Cathedral Termite Mounds and eerie Magnetic Mounds are famous features of Australia's Top End. Learn why they are key to all that you have been doing today, and marvel at these little architects of nature.
Return to Darwin via a scenic route.
