Edith Falls

Katherine · NT

A tiered system of waterfalls and plunge pools set among pandanus-lined streams in Nitmiluk National Park. The upper pool offers a spectacular infinity-edge swimming experience overlooking the valley below while the lower pool is larger and more accessible. The surrounding savannah woodland is home to wallabies and a rich variety of birdlife. A Top End gem that is swimmable year-round unlike many seasonal waterholes.

Know before you go

Check for crocodile closure signs. Upper pool involves a moderate climb. Lower pool is wheelchair accessible. Camping available nearby. Best swimming in the dry season.
