Leliyn/ Edith Falls is located within the pristine Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge). Enjoy swimming in the paperbark and pandanus fringed natural pool at the base of the falls most of the year, or check out the upper pools via a moderate uphill walk. The area is great for bushwalking with numerous trails surrounding.

Great spot, upper pool is a 1km walk in, you can either back track 1km to the car park or continue and do a trail loop which is 1.6km back to the car park. Back near the car park is a campground and day use area where you can swim in the bottom pool during dry season.

Arrived in Katherine, and our first stop was the V.I.C. They lady we spoke to was very friendly, and knowledgeable. She assisted us with our gorge cruise booking, and provided us information in regards to Kakadu and the accessibility.

This is a great place for a picnic or just to take a break. Not very far off the main road and plentry of parking as well as public toilets. You can check out the water or go up the hill a bit and hang around in the park. I have heard stories about crocs in the water, so not sure it's a good idea to take a swim. Overall, was worth the visit.
