   I'm the kind of person that likes to have a swim in any appealing looking body of water. Edith Falls is the best place on the planet for this. Picture this - 60km north of Katherine, searing heat in the desert, and you find an oasis of natural beauty and cool crystal water!

Picture this - 60km north of Katherine, searing heat in the desert, and you find an oasis of natural beauty and cool crystal water! Great for swimmers and there are walks up to the upper pools if you want to explore. If you are in the NT, do not miss this.close

Canoes can be rented on location, and no experience is necessary. The gorge is beautiful, enclosed by sheer cliffs on both side, and populated by diverse wildlife; turtles, butterflies, and unferocious freshwater crocodiles. Bring a tent and camp for a night further up the gorge. But be prepared to haul your canoe over sharp rocks if necessary. Due to the heat, I actually spent more time swimming along by the canoe, in the refreshing cool water. Fantastic adventure.close
