Beautiful water hole.
The falls weren’t flowing much when we were here but we do recommend visiting. We didn’t swim due to warnings of fresh water crocs but I believe people often do swim here.

All About
Wangi Falls
Highlights
Wangi Falls is the best-known and most popular attraction in Litchfield National Park - a park renowned for its accessibility and pristine natural beauty. The falls are found near the western boundary of the park, 150 kilometres south of Darwin along sealed roads. Relax in the expansive manicured lawns of the picnic area and watch the water from the two falls cascade over the rock escarpments into the large plunge pool below. Take a dip in the pool, which is surrounded by lush monsoon rainforest.
There is a kiosk, picnic tables and barbecues with a camp ground and hot showers nearby. There are various walking tracks, including a three kilometre loop track that takes you up and over the falls and back to the car park, or a return option to the Treetop viewing platform.
The falls are regularly closed to swimming during the tropical summer from October to March, as currents in the pool can become strong and dangerous. During summer, the fast-flowing falls make for spectacular photography. At these times the kiosk and picnic facilities remain open.
