Tolmer Falls is one of the most spectacular falls in Litchfield National Park. The falls cascade over two high escarpments into a distant, deep, plunge pool. The bottom of the falls is home to several colonies of rare Ghost Bats and Orange Horseshoe Bats.

Getting there:
From Darwin travel south on the Stuart Highway for 85km, before turning off to Batchelor (15km). From Batchelor a further 55km will take you to the signposted Tolmer Falls turn off.
It is also accessible during the Dry Season via Cox Peninsular Road (50km south of Darwin on the Stuart Highway) and then Litchfield Park Road for 70km, which has a 11km unsealed section.
Maps:
None found.
Route/Trail notes:
This circular walk starts at the car park and follows the trail down to the viewing platform and lookout. From there, take the track to the left that leads along the top of the escarpment and then meanders through the woodlands and cycads back to the car park.
There is no access to either the falls or the plunge pool at its base. There is also a natural bridge arch over Tolmer Creek just above the falls, which is also inaccessible.
Permits/Costs:
None.
