Wangi Falls

Wangi Falls is a two-stage waterfall in Litchfield National Park featuring a main cascade of roughly 52 meters that plunges into a large natural pool. The site sits surrounded by monsoon forest and offers a viewing area where both drops are clearly visible.

The waterfall sits in an area of long importance to Aboriginal peoples who knew of this water source for many generations. In modern times the site became protected with designated paths and boundaries to manage growing visitor numbers.

The name Wangi derives from Aboriginal language, reflecting the deep connection of indigenous communities to this water formation.

Swimming closes during the wet season from November to April when water levels rise and saltwater crocodiles may be present. The best time to visit is during the dry months when water conditions are safer and more comfortable for most visitors.

Flying foxes gather at night in large groups in the trees around the waterfall, forming dark patches visible from the viewing platform. This seasonal phenomenon makes the site an interesting natural spectacle after dark that most daytime visitors miss.
