Edith Falls, Cascading waterfall in Nitmiluk National Park, Australia
Description
Edith Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall that forms large natural pools along the Edith River within Nitmiluk National Park. The water descends through several levels, creating different zones for exploration and swimming.
History
The waterfall has a long history under its Aboriginal name before it was named by European explorers. Safety measures evolved when a saltwater crocodile was captured near the footbridge in 2017, leading to the installation of a protective barrier.
Culture
The Jawoyn people maintain their connection to the place through traditional practices and land stewardship that remains visible today. Their presence shapes how the land is cared for and respected by visitors.
Practical
The walking loop is around 2.6 kilometers and climbs through steep switchbacks to reach multiple swimming areas. Rest benches are placed along the trail, making it easier to break up the climb.
Did you know?
The westward flow of the water creates distinctive light during sunset, bathing the falls in warm golden tones. The highest pool offers swimming in a secluded setting, away from the busier lower areas.
