Edith Falls (Leliyn) is part of Nitmiluk National Park and situated 42km north of Katherine. It has two main camping grounds and we chose Edith Falls campground and what a great choice! We had a lovely camp site looking into the bush with a green grassy “backyard”, which was home for the next 3 nights. The Rees family camped for 2 nights with us and hiked and swam with us, before they travelled on.
Day 1 – We walked up to the Edith Falls plunge pool and then completed the 4km return walk to Upper Pool – Oh what a sight!
Day2 – We drove out to the other part of Nitmiluk National Park, Katherine Gorge – and hiked to the Southern Rockpool.
Day 3 –We met the Smith family who have a daughter Nicola, aged 10 and son Jason, aged 8 – they were also hiking the trail to Sweetwater Pool, 8.6km return trip. While walking through the bush we spotted wild pig diggings and were woken from our daze by a water buffalo trampling through the bush to escape from us - it was amazing! (Wish I was quick enough to get a photo)
Our favourite destination in this national park was Upper Pool, so we hiked back there for a swim before returning to camp.
