History of Tolmer Falls
Tolmer Falls is a significant natural landmark within Litchfield National Park, renowned for its dramatic 60-metre plunge into a pristine gorge. The site was formally protected due to its critical habitat for two rare bat species, the ghost bat and orange horseshoe bat, making it an important conservation area. The gorge rim walk was developed to allow visitor access while safeguarding the sensitive ecosystem below.
