A circa 1 ora e mezza da Darwin, puoi facilmente fare una gita giornaliera o rimanere all'interno e nei dintorni di Litchfield per provare tutto ciò che offre.
Only a 60-minute drive south of Darwin, Litchfield National Park is possibly the Northern Territory’s best kept secret.
The park is filled with stunning waterfalls and waterholes that are surrounded by monsoonal vine forests – all of which offer a cool respite on warm summer days.
A drive through Litchfield is full of contrasts and some of the most enormous termite mounds in the Top End. Cabin, camping and caravan sites are within a short drive of the park gates.
To avoid disappointment check availability ahead of your travels, and book online to secure one of many camping sites in and around Litchfield National Park.
