Litchfield National
Park Index.
Litchfield National Park is a favorite area
among Darwins outdoor lovers and comprises of 146,000 hectares of
largly untouched landscape including monsoonal rainforest, tableland
range, escarpment, large groves of cycads, spring fed creeks and
historic tin mines. It is closer to Darwin than Kakadu National
Park being accessible in less than two hours being 129 kms away
from Darwin on an all weather sealed road through the township of
Batchelor, or via the gravel road off the Cox Peninsulia Road, which
drivers should check the conditions of the gravel road.
You will come across various attractions like the very tall and
sometimes wide termite mounds. Deep in the Park is the “ Lost
city ”, a sandstone rock formation that appears as a petrified
group of castles but this is only accessable via four wheel drive
or to the experience bushwalker. With a group of spring fed waterfalls
what better way to relax and cool down than a relaxing swim and
bbq.
