Litchfield National Park covers 1,500 square kilometres of the Tabletop Range escarpment 100 kilometres south of Darwin, protecting a landscape of spring-fed plunge pools, waterfalls, and monsoonal vine forest. Florence Falls, Wangi Falls, and Tolmer Falls are the most frequented of the park's waterfall circuits, each with swimming holes accessible on short walking tracks. The park's termite mounds include the distinctive magnetic mounds of Amitermes meridionalis, which align their flat faces north-south to regulate internal temperature.
