Tjaetaba Falls

A 2.7-kilometre return walk through monsoon forest along Greenant Creek to Tjaetaba Falls, in Litchfield National Park on the traditional lands of the Werat (verify) and other Aboriginal peoples of the western Top End. The Falls plunge pool and the area downstream are a sacred site — swimming is not permitted there — but a small pool above the falls is open to visitors. The trail starts at the bridge across Greenant Creek, follows the creek upstream past Carpentaria palms and weeping paperbarks, then climbs steeply (Grade 3) to the lookout and the swim pool above. Common wallaroos drink at the creek at dawn and dusk. NT Parks Pass required for non-NT residents.
