Yes, you can swim in the Northern Territory<\/a>.

Buley Rockhole, Litchfield National Park \u2013 slip and slide<\/h2>\n

Nature\u2019s very own slip and slide awaits at this famous rockhole. Located inside Litchfield National Park<\/a>, an hour and a half\u2019s drive from Darwin<\/a>, the rockhole is made up of a series of small cascading waterfalls that flow down the rock face into bigger pools of clear water. Start up high and slide your way down the gentle slope, just don\u2019t wear your favourite white swimming costume. Locals head down on weekends with picnics, cooling their drinks in the falls, where the water gives you a nice free back massage, before finding shade among the trees lining the water. The rockhole is one of the most easily accessible waterholes in Litchfield, with a car park just a hundred metres away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
