Edith Falls
Edith Falls, which also is known by its Aboriginal name Leilyn, is a series of waterfalls that is really known more as a giant swimming hole than an impressive waterfall. Our visit happened to be in the early morning so this west-facing waterfall was completely in shadow (as you can see from the photos). I suppose if your interest is in photography, then you'll want to visit in the afternoon. Even though there's many ways to experience Nitmiluk, I have to confess that we don't have much more to say about it since we didn't spend much time here let alone do the longer loop trail that allows you to see the upper cascades on the Edith River. I guess that's an excuse for us to come back and spend more time here.
