Surprise Creek Waterfalls

Surprise Creek Falls is a remote waterfall and swimming area located within Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia.

Accessible by 4WD only via the Reynolds River Track, it is one of the more isolated destinations in the park, rewarding those who make the journey with a series of waterfalls cascading into cauldron-like swimming holes surrounded by lush bush scenery.

The area is known for its sense of seclusion and natural beauty, and it sits alongside Tjaynera (Sandy Creek) Falls as one of two campgrounds along the Reynolds Track.

Visitors should exercise caution around the falls, as rocks are slippery and the terrain near the edges can be dangerous.
