Robin Falls is an attractive three-tiered waterfall that's just outside the boundaries of Litchfield National Park near the township of Adelaide River. This waterfall is seasonal however so you'll have to time your visit for early in the Dry Season. I suppose you can visit the falls in the Wet Season for more reliable flow, but the conditions might make access much more difficult.From the somewhat informal car park at the end of the road, you follow the creek upstream as the trail starts off pretty well-defined. But then it starts to become less defined the further you go. Eventually, you have to do a little rock scrambling, and even when you get to the falls, you have to scramble on the facing rocks to get a better view without the rock obstructions. Be careful if you do this as it can get very slippery here. Allow yourself about 20-30 minutes each way to walk to the falls. By the way, you might also see this waterfall referred to as "Robyn Falls." At least Lonely Planet spells the falls this way. However, my Explore Australia atlases spell it with the "i". Just so you know. Directions: The turnoff for Robin Falls (I don't recall if it's signposted or not) is about 12km south of the township of Adelaide River on the sealed but narrow Dorat Road (Road 23). Take the turnoff and proceed along this rough and rocky (high clearance vehicle recommended though a passenger vehicle can make it if you're real careful) to its end. There's a "car park" there where your hike/scramble begins.
