Edith Falls

Edith Falls, plunge pool
There are 2 seasons north of NT, wet and dry. In the wet season, it gets an annual rainfall of 600 - 800mm between Nov to Apr. As a result, there are lots of waterfalls, springs and water holes. After Limmen NP, we went further north to Edith Falls, an hour from Katherine. 
Devil's Marble near Tennant Creek
The falls is located in Nitmiluk NP. It is one of the best campgrounds we have been to. It is a busy place and lucky for us, we got a handy tip from a fellow traveller at Tomato Island. The gate is only open at 10am but if you get there early and park in the carpark, walk around and choose your spot. You can always see someone packing up and then go to the office and book the site. We got there at 9am and picked a great spot. It had good sun for our solar, next to a green grass patch and near the showers and BBQ. 


There is a pool near the campground but we also walked up to Upper Pool as well as did a 8.6km return trip to Sweetwater, passing Long Hole Pool. The further the pools are, the less people.
