Litchfield Tabletop Track (39km)

The Tabletop Track is a picturesque long-distance walking track through Litchfield National Park, about an hour's drive from Darwin.

The Track takes hikers through Litchfield's savanna woodlands, along beautiful creeks and to scenic waterfalls and swimming holes. The Tabletop Track is approached via one of several short link walks. Access these at Florence Falls, Greenant Creek, Wangi Falls and Walker Creek.

This 39 kilometre (or 50.5 kilometre including link walks into campsites) circuit includes three main sections. Wangi to Walker Creek (18.5 kilometres) offers great views as you follow the palm-lined creek to Tjenya Falls, then continue through open woodland to a well-earned swim in Walker Creek. Take in the changing landscape as you continue from Walker Creek to Florence Falls (12.3 kilometres), through unusual sandstone formations and lush rainforest. Admire the large castle-shaped boulders on the last shady part of the track (19.7 kilometres) between Florence and Wangi Falls as you follow the paperbark and pandanus-lined Wangi Creek.

Walkers should note that the Tabletop Track is suitable for experienced, fit and well-prepared bushwalkers. If you're planning to walk the whole circuit, allow three to five days. You must camp in one of the designated campgrounds.

The track is usually closed at the end of September for the Wet Season. Permits are needed to access the track at this time. The threat of wildfires may close the track at other times. The Tabletop Track is accessed by one of several link walks. You can also use the links to walk shorter sections of the track. There are link walks at Florence Falls, Greenant Creek, Wangi Falls and Walker Creek.
