==Attractions== [[File:Florence falls.jpg|right|thumb|Sky view of Florence Falls]] Most of the major attractions in the park are linked by sealed road and are easily accessed by two-wheel drive car. However, some of the more remote attractions require a four-wheel drive to access them. Details of some of the major attractions follow: ===Florence Falls=== [[Florence Falls]] is a double-plunge waterfall leading to a popular swimming hole. ===Buley Rockhole=== [[File:Buley Rockhole.jpg|right|thumb|Buley Rockhole]] Visitors to [[Buley Rockhole]] will find a long series of cascading plunge pools. ===Wangi Falls=== Possibly Litchfield's most popular attraction, [[Wangi Falls]] is easily accessible and open all year round. However, swimming is not always possible due to water levels from heavy rain. === Tolmer Falls === [[File:TOLMER FALLS - LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK.jpg|thumb|Tolmer Falls]] [[Tolmer Falls]] cascades over two high escarpments into a deep plunge pool. The bottom of the falls is home to several colonies of rare ghost bats and orange horseshoe bats. === Tjaetaba Falls === [[Tjaetaba Falls]] is a drop along Greenant Creek, one of the smaller systems in the park. These falls and the area below them is an Aboriginal sacred site, and visitors are requested to swim only above the falls. ===Tjaynera Falls (Sandy Creek)=== After a moderate level, 3.5 km return walk through an open valley, visitors can enjoy the usually un-crowded plunge pool beneath [[Tjaynera Falls (Northern Territory)|Tjaynera Falls]]. ===Surprise Creek Falls=== These falls are open for swimming. ===Blyth Homestead=== This homestead, build in 1929, stands as a reminder of the tough conditions faced by the pioneers in remote areas. ===Bamboo Creek=== Interpretive signs explain the methods used to extract the tin and to help appreciate the hardship endured by miners as they struggled to make a living in intolerable conditions. === Magnetic termite mounds=== [[File:Magnetic Termite Mounds.jpg|thumb|Magnetic termite mounds]] These termite mounds are built by thousands of termites with a north–south orientation to control the temperature inside the mounds. The cathedral mounds which are substantially larger, are located not far away.
