About
Litchfield National Park in Northern Territory
Australia
It
also features numerous waterfalls which cascade
from a sandstone plateau called the Tabletop Range,
intriguing magnetic termite mounds, historical
sites, and the weathered sandstone pillars of
the Lost City.
How
To Get To Litchfield National Park
Near
Batchelor, 100 km south-west of Darwin, the Park
is generally accessible all year (sealed roads)
via Batchelor. In the dry season it is also possible
to get to the Park via Cox Peninsula Road (which
is unsealed).
When
To Visit Litchfield National Park
This
Park is spectacular at any time, though most 4WD
tracks are closed during the wet season. Some
swimming areas such as Wangi Falls, become unsafe
after heavy rain and are closed for swimming but
kiosk and picnic facilities remain open.
What
To See And Do In Litchfield National Park
There
are many camping areas located throughout the
Park, as well as picnic areas and bushwalking
tracks. Some waterholes are safe to swim in.
