Jim Jim falls is best known as the massive waterfall in Kakadu.

However this is the wet season Jim Jim, that is also closed to visit. When you can visit and swim there, Jim Jim is either a trickle or has no water coming down. But it’s still a great place to visit. It is one interesting walk… not that far but very difficult, as walking from large stone to large stone for 800m is pretty exhausting. The water is quite cold too, especially at the base. But if you’ve got the car to make it (strictly 4WD only) you won’t be disappointed.

Wangi is popular and accessible by 2WD. Yes, it gets crowded. But unlike Florence, it has lots of parking, and it is a huge swimming pool, so it never seems that bad.

It now has a visitor centre, if you want chips in the middle of a national park.

You can swim there in the dry. In the wet it is closed.

There are a lot of these small rockpools, they are great fun, and accessible by 2WD. This means CROWDED!

Parking is a nightmare, although the last time I was there it looked like they were expanding the parking lot.

If you can get there, they are worth a visit and a dip.

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.
