Fly from Darwin over the Darwin River Dam and the historic Rum Jungle mine to the Litchfield escarpment. Litchfield’s spring-fed waterfalls and wetlands flow all year, including the Reynolds River. See the magnetic termite mounds, the Cascades, the Lost City and waterfalls including Florence, Wangi, Tolmer and Sandy Creek (Tjaynera) falls.

From Litchfield, fly south over the crocodile-breeding wetlands of the Daly River to its wide delta, then return to Darwin along the remote west coast via Channel Point, Crab Claw Island and Darwin Harbour.

Just over 100 km south of Darwin, Litchfield National Park is centred on the Tabletop Range – a vast sandstone plateau whose springs feed a string of spectacular waterfalls that flow all year round. It’s one of the Top End’s most loved parks, and from the air you can see how the falls tumble off the plateau edge into monsoon-forest gorges.

Litchfield is also famous for its termite mounds. The ‘magnetic’ mounds are aligned north–south to control their temperature, while the giant cathedral mounds can tower several metres high. Out on the plateau, the weathered sandstone pillars of the Lost City look like the ruins of an ancient town.

Must-See in Litchfield National Park

• Florence Falls – twin falls dropping into a monsoon-forest plunge pool
• Wangi Falls – the park’s most famous falls
• Tolmer Falls and Tjaynera (Sandy Creek) Falls
• Magnetic and cathedral termite mounds
• The Lost City – striking sandstone formations

The Daly River is one of the Northern Territory’s largest and wildest rivers, winding through remote country south-west of Darwin to a broad tidal delta at Anson Bay. It’s renowned across Australia for barramundi fishing and for its healthy population of saltwater crocodiles.

From above, the river’s sweeping bends, wetlands and the sandbars of its delta reveal a landscape that few people ever see, before the flight follows the untouched west coast back towards Darwin Harbour.
