Edith Falls is part of the Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park and the finishing place of the famous Jatbula Trail. The campsite is located right next to the falls, however the best swimming you have to walk to. And it’s worth it. After a steep but short climb from the campsite you get the cascades above the main pool and they are quite spectacular. Also smaller and croc free, as despite thousands of years of evolution, crocs are still very poor rock climbers. Therefore this was my personal preferred spot. Mind you – I didn’t know about the snakes. I saw small one swimming close by at one point which caused Gordie to leave the pool at warp speed 5 but from another walker I heard that they encountered one nearly two meters in length.
Vodopady Edith jsou soucasti Narodniho Parku Nitmiluk a mimo jine jsou cilem znameho 5-ti denninho pochodu Jatbula Trail. Kemp je hned vedle vodopadu a jezirka, kde se sice plavat da, ale za mnohem hezcim koupanim se musi dojit. Z kempu vede celkem strma, ale ne prilis dlouha stezka hornim vodopadum a jezirkum a tam je to nadhera. Jezirka jsou mensi, ale za to bez krokousu. Navzdory tisicum let vyvoje jsou totiz krokodyli stale mizerni horolezci a tudiz tohle byla moje volba na koupacku. To jsem totiz nevedela, ze to maji i vodni hady. Videla jsem jen malyho a kdyz jsem ho ukazala Gordiemu, vystrelil z vody jak sip. Pozdejc jsem se bavila s parem z Viktorie, kteri tu udajne potkali pri plavani hada a o delce skoro dva metry. Ani me nemrzi, ze jsem o neco takovyho prisla.
