Leliyn (Edith Falls) are located on the western side of Nitmiluk National Park, and can be reached by turning off the Stuart Highway north of Katherine then following a sealed road to the car park and campground. We called in to look at Edith Falls on our trip from Kakadu to Katherine - plenty of space to park with the caravan in tow. The Campground has camping and caravan sites - all unpowered and available on a first come first served basis.
We took the Leliyn walking track - a 2.6 km circuit to the upper pool, down the other side to the main pool at the bottom of the falls, then cross the river to arrive back at the kiosk (selling food, cold drinks and ice cream). There are great views of the surrounding countryside from the top of the falls and we saw a number of people swimming in the small pools. I was glad I took my walking stick as some areas are quite steep. Of course you should take plenty of water with you on these walks as it can get very hot in the Northern Territory - even in the middle of winter.
This walk is well sign-posted and we even ran into a ranger at the top of the lookout who was checking the emergency phone that is located on the track. This is a beautiful spot and I would highly recommend that you stop off and have a look around - maybe even a swim. There are toilets and showers located next to the main swimming pool.
