Litchfield National Park

There are only three roads into Litchfield National Park. The only paved access road is via the small town of Batchelor off the Stuart Highway between Darwin and Katherine. The other two options are dirt roads, one north to Darwin via Berry Springs, the other along the south edge of the park to Daly River. The north side of the park can be fairly comfortably covered from Darwin in a single day figure on 300 km, but to enjoy the sights which are 'off the beaten track', a few more days and a 4WD will be necessary.
