Highlights
Tjaynera Falls, also known as Sandy Creek Falls, is a hidden gem in Litchfield National Park. Accessible only by 4WD, this quiet spot features a 1.4-kilometre trail that leads to a refreshing plunge pool at the base of the falls. It’s perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying a picnic surrounded by nature.
Fun fact: The nearby Blyth Homestead, built in 1929, offers a glimpse into the tough lives of early pioneers in the area. Tjaynera Falls is a great place to escape the crowds and connect with the serene beauty of the park.
