After a busy week at work we manage to escape down the highway to Darwin's nearest and dearest National Park- Litchfield. This is much closer than the more famous Kakadu which comes later and mostly accessible on sealed roads without a 4WD. After driving in through Batchelor and stopping to see both the Magnetic and Cathedral termite mounds (the former all lined up to point the same way, the latter very large) we spend sunday night in a Safari camp. It's a fixed tent with beds but we do gather wood for our bbq and cook burgers under the stars. It's a jolly cold night- the first time I've been cold in a while.
Up soon after the sun and the day is warming up. Before it gets too hot, we walk to the Cascades- a series of waterfalls within a rainforest, beautiful. I swim at Wangi falls which has a great swimming hole. Also on the agenda are Florence falls-another good swim, Buley rock holes and Tolmer falls. It's a beautiful day with beautiful scenery.
