Reynolds River Track – Litchfield

Posted on by

Reynolds is a beautiful 4WD track, great varying scenary, not too difficult but enough to keep you interested.

The big “x-factor” is that damn river crossing. It is generally 600mm to 700mm (check the access report) the bottom isn’t that firm, you can’t walk it due to crocs, and there is a big bend it in, so it is difficult to know you are going the correct way. There are also two different routes, the first time I went one was roped off… so I never went that way.

So depends on how bad you want to do it… I’ve done it twice and doubt I’ll do it again.

DROP YOUR TYRE PRESSURE! If you don’t do it on the track, make sure you do it across the river.

Edith Falls – Location

Posted on by

Edith Falls is roughly halfway to Katherine from Darwin, probably a bit closer to Katherine. It is a great campsite. There are three main pools to swim in. The first is a 100m flat walk to the campsite. It is a very large rockpool, it can be hard to enter without good footwear.

The second is the main one, it is pretty short, from memory 300m, however it is pretty steep and quite rocky in sections. But it is worth it, as the pools are great.

Paradise Valley – Location

Posted on by

Paradise Valley near Licola is a farm that also serves as a campground. Our family (plus a few more) have gone there every easter since before I was born. I was first there at 3 months old, and I’ve only missed a couple since. It has showers, a creek to swim in, daily rubbish collection, and it allows dogs. Fireplaces are welcome. We regularly do canoe trips down there, I see a lot of people fishing but they rarely catch anything.

Email me if you want to find it… I don’t know where it is exactly but I know how to drive there!
