Tjaetaba Falls

Highlights

Discover the enchanting Tjaetaba Falls along the Greenant Creek Walk in Litchfield National Park. This 2.7-kilometre trail winds through shady forests and climbs to a lookout with stunning views of the falls and surrounding scenery. The area is alive with unique wildlife like wallaroos, geckos, and frogs, making it an exciting adventure for nature lovers.

Fun fact: The custodians of this sacred Aboriginal site request that visitors only swim above the falls. Follow the trail to find beautiful rock pools where you can splash and cool off safely.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The trail includes steep sections, and swimming near the falls can be risky without careful supervision. Always stick to the designated swimming areas.

  • Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
