Description
Located in Litchfield National Park, the spectacular Florence Falls cascade into a plunge pool, set in a pocket of monsoon forest.
Enjoy the easy three minute walk from the car park to the scenic viewing platform high above the falls for panoramic views of the gorge, open valley, Florence Falls and the waterhole below. Note the contrast between the wet monsoon forest and the dry sandstone plateau. Stretch your legs by following the gorge rim walk down the stairs to the valley floor. A seat at the halfway mark provides the opportunity for a breather and a photo. Continue on to the plunge pool for a refreshing dip year-round in the crystal clear waters.
The one kilometre moderate grade Shady Creek walk will loop you back, along a stream through the rainforest-filled gorge, then through the woodlands back to Florence Creek. Bring a picnic and stop here for a break, complete with the sound of the creek bubbling past. It's then just a short stroll to the car park.
Dogs are not permitted.
No camping or overnight parking allowed.

Absolutely beautiful!! Easy walk down about 135 steps to this great big rockpool with 2 waterfalls flowing in. If you stay still the fish will have a nibble on you. Got crowded with bus people about 11 so too busy! We walked back the gentle, shaded 1 km walk which was lovely.

Beautiful spot. The stairs are an easy walk down with handrails for those who need them. We walked the 1km track back and it was beautiful.
