Back from a visit to Edith Falls which is part of the Nitmiluk National Park. Edith Falls is 60kms north east of Katherine. There are two pools for swimming one being at the base and the other being a 1km climb up the escarpment but well worth it. The upper pools are much nicer and prettier than the base pool. Have to say this waterfall and plunge pool is one of the loveliest we have have seen so far. Even though there were a few people there, because there are three pools to swim in, they aren’t crowded and you can swim away to your own private possie. John found a swim through to a hole in the rock that had a trickle of water flowing into it. Looked a bit like a wishing well. The water was beautiful, clean, clear and cool and was a deep blue, it was also very deep. We did the loop walk back to the car and saw the waterfalls from different perspectives which was good to see. The lower pool was also lovely but more people and only a few entry points to the water which while OK when we were there, it could be tricky with too many people. There are a couple of pontoons on the waters edge and there is a kiosk nearby hence its popularity. There were some bigger fish in this pond like barramundi and sooty grunters (black bream). Edith Falls is a great spot and swimming is the main thing to do. Well worth the drive.
