Florence Falls
Florence Falls is a gorgeous and very popular and rare year-round waterfall in Litchfield National Park. We noticed the falls were quite popular and it probably helps if you have wheelchair access from the car park to the overlook of the falls (as pictured above) as well as lots of tour buses making a stop here. From the vantage point of the overlook, we were not only able to see the dual columns of the main falls, but we could also see waterfalls further upstream.
Another worthwhile diversion while you're up at the falls is the Termite Mounds, which is a short distance on the Litchfield Park Road from the turnoff to Florence Falls and is well signposted. Now while such mounds are all over the place in this part of the north of Australia, this particular spot seems to have some unusually large ones plus have a very high concentration of them.

Beyond the overlook, we took a steep but fairly easy trail down to the base of Florence Falls. There is a well-developed path with stairs in the steepest parts. For a full frontal view of the falls from right across its large plunge pool, I had to do a little rock scramble for it, but I'm sure it's easier if the waterflow is less as the Dry Season wears on.
