Tolmer Falls
Tolmer Falls is one of the taller waterfalls you'll find in Litchfield National Park. But unlike the other falls in the park, swimming access at the bottom of the falls does not exist. The falls has a tall and slender shape. The trail from the car park will take you to a large overlook platform where you can look down at the falls. There is also a loop trail that goes upstream from the main falls where there are more cascades and swimming holes. However, when I was there, a large section upstream of the falls that also encompasses a natural bridge was closed to protect some rare bat species (either Orange Horseshoe Bats or Ghost Bats) who make the protected area their home. The falls tends to be in shadow if you're there too early in the morning or too late in the afternoon. Your best bet for photographs is probably around midday. Access to the car park of the falls is well-signed off the Litchfield Park Road to the south some 55km west of Batchelor. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
