A great spot for a quick 15–30 minute stop on your way in or out of Litchfield National Park. The termite mounds are a truly peculiar sight — rising from the ground like gravestones in an outback graveyard. There were far more than I expected, and the scale of them is impressive. Two large, isolated mounds are set aside for visitors to view up close and even touch, adding an interactive element to the visit. The short viewing platform gives a nice vantage point over the field of mounds. There’s also spacious parking, along with nearby picnic tables and toilet facilities — making it an easy and convenient rest stop.

The Termite Mounds in Litchfield National Park are a fascinating natural wonder. These towering structures showcase the incredible engineering skills of the termites. Walking among them is like stepping into another world, and the surrounding scenery adds to the unique experience. A must-see for nature lovers! it had been burn when we visited so easy to see
Ozzie O — Google review
Not just piles of soil, these are termite mounds, some towering over 5 metres, created by termites barely 5 mm long. While impressive, they’re actually found all along Darwin’s expressways, so after a 2-hour drive, it felt less worthwhile. The accessible visitor area is quite small too, so unless you’re already nearby, it may not be worth a special trip.
Tan. W — Google review
I remember coming out and seeing these years ago, the addition of the carpark, toilets and board walk is a huge advantage, just wish that the board walk included the magnetic mounds and not just the cathedral mounds. They feel like solid rock, which is amazing as they are made by small 5mm insects.
Bernice M — Google review
Worth a quick look at as they are right there close to the road. If you are in a hurry you could skip them
Tomo T — Google review
So glad we drove out to see the termite mounds well looked after and good to see walkways around them so they are protected a bit from so many people visiting them.

Fascinating little creatures. Spectacular structures using the sun and shade for heating and cooling.

We had been to a Wangi Falls and were heading back to Darwin. We pulled in on an impulse. I am so pleased that we stopped. We had thought that it would be couple of dozen mounds - it was more like a scene from a sci-fi movie or prehistoric standing stones, with hundreds(?) of bizarre mounds. It was a 10 minute detour. DO IT!

Beautiful, the loop walk was nice and easy, for someone with moderate fitness, get there before 10am if you want the quiet. I went on October so end of dry season but still water flowing over the falls, and the swimming is beautiful 😍

Beautiful waterfall that is open at specific times of the year to swim in. For those who can’t swim or for times when it isn’t safe, it’s an easy walk along a raised pathway to the viewpoint that isn’t long. Definitely don’t miss this.

Top place to visit. Lovely area to swim in plenty of space. Picnic area and a cafe. Although we did have to wait 40 minutes for hot chips🤷. Good waterfall for pictures nice walk to do. I enjoyed my time there.
Pamela R — Google review
Great place to hike with 1 and 5 years old! Obviously the 1+ years old was Tula babywear by my hubby while I held the hand of 5 year old for her first full hike. Surprisingly she finished it though mentioning tired at some points. She did enjoy the views and the “green-tailed” ants she saw along the way! We even made it to the cafe before it closes! Since we had the park pass just visit as many locations as our time permit!
Irene S — Google review
Long swim out to the falls, but still worthit and ur able to sit behind the waterfall. Waterfall on the right I think is better, because waterfall on left is near bat cave and smelt like bat poop 🥴 Don’t bother going on the walk over the top of the waterfall, (unless purely for boring exercise) there isn’t any view that’s worthit, u can the car park for a couple of seconds at the top, just a long walk upstairs and then downstairs💀. Use ur time wisely and just chill at the falls. 🌊

The drive through the national park was fantastic; there were many waterfalls to behold. Wangi was the puck of the bunch. Swim in the magnificent water hole, which has two waterfalls tumbling down into it. The surrounding area is very well maintained and provides easy access to the water hole. There's a fantastic cafe nearby that doesn't charge too much for a quick lunch or coffee. Clean amenities, lush green grass. A must-see attraction.
George K — Google review
Stunning location! Two beautiful waterfalls streaming into a large swimming hole. There are changing rooms and toilets at the carpark a short stroll up the fully accessible path. There's lots of wildlife around, from spiders to insects to fish (that you swim with!) to bats to birds! A short boardwalk takes you to a viewing area... Or you could just swim out to the falls. The walk around the waterfall has lots of steps, but is very much worth the effort!

Do hike, a short 1.6 Km loop you’ll see lush tropical forest. And dip into the water after that hike-you’ll feel amazing..

hidden gem in Litchfield National Park. The twin waterfalls cascading into a clear, refreshing plunge pool are perfect for a swim, especially on a hot day. The walk down through the monsoon forest adds to the experience, with plenty of shady spots and wildlife along the way. It’s well-kept, easy to access, and a great place to relax and cool off. A must-visit if you’re exploring the Top End.
Sagar P — Google review
A stunning spot for a swim and easily one of my favourite attractions in Litchfield National Park. There are two access options: a steep staircase of around 130 steps or a longer, stair-free path that’s more accessible. We visited around midday on a Tuesday — it was fairly busy, but still plenty of space to enjoy the water. The twin waterfalls aren’t immediately visible from the viewing area, but once you’re in the pool, they reveal themselves beautifully. The swim to the falls is short and manageable — unlike Wangi or Edith Falls, which require a longer swim. I’d highly recommend bringing a pool noodle (a Territory essential!) as the water is deep and it makes floating much more relaxing. Sitting beneath the falls with water cascading over you was incredibly refreshing. For the adventurous, there are rock ledges nearby to climb and jump from. There’s also a calm, shallow creek off to the side for a more laid-back experience. Perfect for all swimming levels — an absolute must-visit.

It is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favourite experiences in the NT. The car park gets very full in peak periods so be aware. Bring bathers as you don't want to miss swimming here - it's truly a magnificent experience. You can walk the 135 stairs down to the plunge pool or take the 1.1km track (easy walk - about 15 mins) through the bush/rainforest to get there - they both end up at the same place. Toilets and change rooms are near the carpark. Bring food & water. It's very rocky so some mobility required.
Kim S — Google review
Amazing waterfalls where you can swim during the dry season (once marked safe to do so). Lots of little rock pools to just dip your feet in if you aren't keen for a swim. Absolutely beautiful location although it can get busy in peak periods. You can swim right behind one of the waterfalls in one area which is an amazing experience. Just note you do need to swim against the flow of water to get to the actual waterfall itself which can be more tiring than expected.
Kylie — Google review
This is my #1 spot I’ve been to in NT!! Pictures don’t do it justice but it is the most beautiful place ever. It was pretty quiet when I went, only a few other people swimming. A few little fish around and easy to paddle or sit on rocks and still be submerged. Do not skip this if you’re visiting Litchfield

Well-known swimming destination featuring shallow pools of water & cascading waterfalls.
Slide 1 of 8
Buley rockhole is a series of rock pools that cascade down the river. It is a hidden oasis from the heat just a short walk from the carpark and picnic area. Access can be a bit tricky as there is no man-made entry to the water so care needs to be taken both entering and leaving the water in each rockpool. We swam at the beginning of the dry season so the water was still flowing and deep in some pools. The water level is seasonal and in the dry the rock pools can become isolated and stagnant not safe for swimming.
Louise T — Google review
Gorgeous spot for a cool off on a hot day. The main pool is deep enough to jump into from the edge. Water is so refreshing and clear. As a mature woman with not so flexible knees these days, I did find it difficult to enter and exit the pools without assistance. There are no rails to hold onto, and I doubt it would be a worthwhile exercise installing rails to enter and exit the pools. It's an easy walk from the carpark to the pools. Just be mindful that it's a rocky walk. Not accessible for wheelchairs.
Jennifer R — Google review
Buley Rockhole offers a quiet, calming contrast to the nearby Florence Falls — perfect for a more relaxed dip either before or after visiting the main plunge pool. It’s conveniently located on the same route, making it a great stopover. The stream gently flows downhill, forming a series of cascading rock pools connected like natural steps. You can relax in any of them, though the lower pools tend to be more popular. The water is deep in parts, which makes it ideal for floating with a pool noodle or even jumping in from the rock ledges. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind, soak in the beauty of nature, and enjoy the cool, clear waters in a more low-key setting. A wonderful stop in Litchfield that feels both refreshing and serene.

One of my favourite spots on our 12000km trip. Beautiful swimming holes. Don’t expect privacy if a tour group arrives or personal space. It disappoints me the way groups can take over a space with little regard to others. A reminder too that it is a NO SMOKING area. It is a magical spot and a must do! Super easy walk from carpark.

What an amazing spot!! I came here in the afternoon on a weekday and it was fairly quiet, only a couple other people around so was able to have a pool to ourselves!! Definitely recommend visiting, NT keeps surprising me over and over again

Stunning cascading waterfalls, small and inviting for all ages groups. Shallow and deep water holes. Clean well maintained walk to waters edge
Michelle S — Google review
This place is a gorgeous little waterhole and has a series of small waterfalls that you can lounge in. The rocks are smooth due to the amount of water that flows through, but this also makes them very slippery! Be careful! The carpark is a decent size, there are toilets and change rooms and there are covered tables and chairs. The Ranger was present and blowing down the seating area - good to see someone patrolling and maintaining the area. There are camp grounds, but you do need to book online to stay the night and I think you may need a permit to access the park, please check the NT Parks and Wildlife site to double check and see pricing. It's been a few years since I was last here, but we are already planning our next day trip!

The trail leading to the lookout is well-maintained and accessible, providing a pleasant walk through the vibrant flora of the park. Along the way, you might spot unique wildlife, including various bird species and the occasional wallaby. The sound of rushing water adds to the serene atmosphere, creating a perfect backdrop for photography enthusiasts. While swimming is not permitted in the pool due to the presence of endangered bat colonies in the surrounding caves, the views alone are captivating enough to warrant a visit. The area is also an excellent spot for picnicking, allowing you to soak in the scenery while enjoying a meal amidst nature. Tolmer Falls is best visited during the wet season when the flow is at its peak, but even in the dry season, the sight is impressive. Overall, it’s a must-see destination for anyone exploring Litchfield National Park, offering a tranquil escape and a chance to connect with the stunning natural environment of Northern Territory. Whether you’re an avid hiker, a nature lover, or just looking for a picturesque spot to unwind, Tolmer Falls will leave a lasting impression.

Open all year round. In the middle of Litchfield road🚶‍♀️Access: there are 3 walks. The 1st is going to the lookout, wheelchair/pram friendly but can be challenging. 5min walk, nothing much to do. The 2nd is lower look out, 10mins,flat but not so wheelchair friendly. Nothing much to do. The 3rd is a nice walk along the creek, not difficult but there are a lot of steps and rocks. Approx 40mins. Worth doing, very picturesque. 🏊‍♂️ No swimming spot at all. It's a protected area with endangered species. 🚽Clean toilet + toilet paper + non potable water is available but bring your own handwashing liquid. 📶No signal, download offline map, but you won't get lost as there is only 1 road in and out of Litchfield, there are signages around. 🚗 Plenty of carpark as there are not many people hang around in this area, they usually spend less than an hour here. 🍔No stall, bring your own food and drinking water. 🚮 No rubbish bin inside the national park, carry your own rubbish bin and bring it back home.

What a spectacular place. You drive down 10km of quite rough dirt road, 4WD required and not suitable for caravans, but the drive down is certainly worth it. The rock formations are stunning. We've never seen anything like it in our lives. This was one of our highlights in the Northern Territory.

11km off the main road on a dirt road. It says 4WD only but we went there with no problem in a Toyota Kluger. Rock Formations that you can freely wander around and climb if your keen enough. Worth the trip if you have the time.

I loved it here. It reminded me a little of Angkor Wat, only this is totally natural. The rock formations were huge and the precariously balanced rocks at the top of the crevices were amazing to see. We spent a while walking around and found it to be a surprising detour on our day trip.
Donna M — Google review
We unexpectedly came across this place when we were driving through the Litchfield tourist drive saying it was for 4x4 only. We had a 4x4, however it wasnt a challenging track at all, the worst part was the corrugated dirt roads. We saw a commodore make it to the rock with little trouble. Once we got there I thought it was well worth the effort! It was beautiful.
TheSimonMech — Google review
Definitely one of the highlights of visiting Litchfield! You definitely need a 4WD as the corrugated road quickly gives way to a narrow and fairly treacherous road for those not properly equipped. We were rewarded at the end with somewhere comparable only to a natural Angkor Wat. Loved taking our time meandering through the beautiful rock formations. If you have the means, definitely visit here!

Great spot. 60cm river crossing as at 27.7.23. About 75m wide so its a long one. Tricky in that from each side you cannot see the other side entry point so possible for 2 cars to enter at the same time. But we crossed in L4, diffs locked normal tyre pressure, no snorkel. Sandy base so some dropped tyre pressure.
