Leliyn (Edith Falls) Loop Walk
Katherine, Northern Territory
Waterfall and plunge pools about 60 km north of Katherine off the Stuart Highway in Nitmiluk National Park. The 2.6 km Leliyn loop climbs past lookouts to an upper pool you can swim in, and the big lower pool is next to the car park and kiosk. Swimming can be closed in the wet season, so check croc and water notices first.

- Working nearby? Katherine is 33km away: farm work in Katherine.
