Litchfield National Park is an Aboriginal Dreamtime region that retains its mysterious spirituality in the silence
of still forest valleys and rock face escarpments. With rugged sandstone, monsoon forests, spectacular waterfalls into cool abyss plunge pools, fascinating termite mounds, time for swimming in warm tropical waters, walking and exploring; this area... so remote... so totally Australian, will leave you with a lasting impression.
