Wangi is popular and accessible by 2WD. Yes, it gets crowded. But unlike Florence, it has lots of parking, and it is a huge swimming pool, so it never seems that bad.
It now has a visitor centre, if you want chips in the middle of a national park.
You can swim there in the dry. In the wet it is closed.
There are a lot of these small rockpools, they are great fun, and accessible by 2WD. This means CROWDED!
Parking is a nightmare, although the last time I was there it looked like they were expanding the parking lot.
If you can get there, they are worth a visit and a dip.
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.
Florence Falls is a good waterfall and swimming spot in Litchfield. It is paved and accessible by lots of steps. It is always crowded, you will be lucky to get in there on a Saturday or Sunday. If you have a 2WD go for it, otherwise I would use your car to get away from the crowds.
Most people have been here, it is very popular. On one hand, you can’t go to Litchfield and miss out. On the other hand, crowded swimming holes and crowded parking lots isn’t how I like to spend my time in a National Park.
The falls in the wet
You need to go down a dirt track for a while, lots of corrugation but nothing too bad. The walk is moderate and you need to ensure you know where you are going, because it isn’t signposted very well. I also believe there are other falls to visit along that track, I hope I have the chance to check them all out. It is a good walk to do in the wet, assuming the access report allows you to. I would say the walk is “moderate”. If swimming is your only goal, there are easier places to go like Maguk. Motorcar is a great place to go, but it wouldn’t be on top of my list, more like the place to go when you have seen a lot of Kakadu.
