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!

Jim Jim Falls – Kakadu

Posted on by

Jim Jim falls is best known as the massive waterfall in Kakadu.

However this is the wet season Jim Jim, that is also closed to visit. When you can visit and swim there, Jim Jim is either a trickle or has no water coming down. But it’s still a great place to visit. It is one interesting walk… not that far but very difficult, as walking from large stone to large stone for 800m is pretty exhausting. The water is quite cold too, especially at the base. But if you’ve got the car to make it (strictly 4WD only) you won’t be disappointed.


 

 

Tjaynera Falls (Sandy Creek Falls) – Litchfield

Posted on by

Tjaynera Falls is amazing.

In Litchfield so easily accessible for a day trip, it has rudimentary camping facilities, though I have never stayed there.

It is down a 4WD track that is moderately challenging, you need to cross some water.

The bushwalk is moderate when you get there it is definitely worth it.

A great waterfall that flows all year round, a great swimming hole, and usually only a handful of people.
