LITCHFIELD BEST KEPT SECRETS

9 day tour

DESCRIPTION PHOTO

Litchfield National Park is a surprising world with two distinct areas. To the north is the tourist portion with the busy Wangi and Florence Falls.

We will go where others do not go. To the south, the wild landscapes will slowly be discovered to the rhythm of our steps. It is a trip to the heart of the wildest area of this national park that is proposed to you.

We will discover four rivers overlooked by tour operators. They are Litchfield's best-kept secrets.

This 9-day / 8-night tour begins in Tjaynera Falls.

It finishes at Tableland  Falls in the South of Litchfield National Park.

On the first day, we will reach our starting point at Sandy Creek and bathe in the majestic Tjaynera Falls basin.

And then walk to our camp, located near a small waterfall with natural charm. We will stay two nights in the same place.

On the second day in the morning, we will explore the surroundings of our camp in search of rock art sites. In the afternoon, I suggest that you store your daypacks in waterproof bags because we will need to swim to return to our camp. Nous consacrerons nos journées à marcher, nager et profiter des eaux turquoises et transparentes de la rivière Tjaynera 

flowing slowly through small gorges with a serene atmosphere, forming long pools that are very pleasant to discover by swimming. You don't have to be a good swimmer, and you can stop for a rest wherever you want. 

I will provide a waterproof bag for your day pack on this trip. 

On the third day, we will reach the dizzying heights of Tjaynera Falls,

cross the open forest of an eroded plateau and fields of spear grass yellowed by the dry season. We will camp at the edge of pools fed by some languid cascades.

Along the way, we will have the chance to admire some Aboriginal Art sites. I discovered these sites during some personal exploration. Litchfield sandstone is renowned for not retaining traces of Aboriginal paintings, making art sites very rare in this region.

On the fourth day, we will cross the Reynolds River and then climb on a plateau where eucalyptus, spear grasses and termite mounds form a typical landscape of the region. We will camp by the crystal-clear waters of the Red Rock River.

The fifth day will be spent exploring  Red Rock Creek and some tributaries. We will set up our camp near a waterfall.

On the sixth day, we will follow Mistake Creek,   

to a small rainforest.

On the seventh day,  we will walk through the Savannah forest to join the course of the Tableland River and set up our camp near a cascade.

The eighth day will be entirely devoted to exploring the Tableland River, whose countless pools, cascades and waterfalls  are a real swimming invitation,
