Overview
Highlights
Biddlecombe Cascades is the first campsite you will reach, 8 kilometres along the trail on day one of the 62 kilometre Jatbula Trail hike. The one way long distance walking trail starts at Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) and finishes at Leliyn / Edith Falls, usually taking trekkers four to five days to complete. Biddlecombe Cascades is one of the many beautiful swimming and sightseeing locations found along the trail. The waterhole is fed by a permanently flowing creek that drops into a lovely waterfall. After walking the first day of the Jatbula Trail you will have plenty of time to set up camp and enjoy lazing about in the rock pools and rapids above the falls.
Toilets and an Emergency Call Device (ECD) are located close by to campsites. Bookings are required to undertake this walk.
