Florence Falls is a good waterfall and swimming spot in Litchfield. It is paved and accessible by lots of steps. It is always crowded, you will be lucky to get in there on a Saturday or Sunday. If you have a 2WD go for it, otherwise I would use your car to get away from the crowds.

Most people have been here, it is very popular. On one hand, you can’t go to Litchfield and miss out. On the other hand, crowded swimming holes and crowded parking lots isn’t how I like to spend my time in a National Park.

The falls in the wet

You need to go down a dirt track for a while, lots of corrugation but nothing too bad. The walk is moderate and you need to ensure you know where you are going, because it isn’t signposted very well. I also believe there are other falls to visit along that track, I hope I have the chance to check them all out. It is a good walk to do in the wet, assuming the access report allows you to. I would say the walk is “moderate”. If swimming is your only goal, there are easier places to go like Maguk. Motorcar is a great place to go, but it wouldn’t be on top of my list, more like the place to go when you have seen a lot of Kakadu.

Ikoymarrwa isn’t on any map. It is a small water hole that rangers are concerned could damaged if large crowds started to descend on it. It is down a very short but rocky 4WD track. The water there is freezing. It is best for those in a 2WD who want to find a place to swim. Just leave your car on the road. The rangers will generally give you directions if you ask, as will most tourist stops like caravan parks.
