The Tolmer Falls is a plunge waterfall on the Tolmer Creek that is located in the Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Location and features

The waterfall descends from an elevation of {{convert|102|m}} above sea level in two drops that range in height between {{convert|32|-|42|m}}[2] into a plunge pool. Accessed by sealed road, the falls are near the western boundary of the national park, approximately {{convert|85|km}} south of {{NTcity|Darwin}}.

The falls were named by explorer Frederick Henry Litchfield after his late father's colleague in the South Australia Police, Alexander Tolmer.
