Litchfield National Park

We have spent the past two days exploring this beautiful NT National Park.  The 1500 sq km park was designated a National Park in 1986.  It boasts stunning waterfalls, monsoon rainforest, magnetic termite mounds, historical sites and crystal clear swimming holes.

We set up camp at the picturesque Wangi Falls.  Although the locals seem confident that any salt water crocodiles found in this swimming hole are swiftly removed, I still wasn't entirely comfortable swimming here, beautiful as it is!



Buley Rockholes had a completely different feel about it.  A series of small waterfalls and rockholes provided the perfect place to relax and cool off.

  And to do a few bombies...

We then moved on to Florence Falls - a spectacular double waterfall set amidst monsoon rainforest.

The boys had a ball trying to catch fish with some bread and a plastic bag.  Their new friend had better luck with his hat!



Fletcher chucked a major plonker but unfortunately we didn't get a photo of that!  Later he was looking rather reflective about it all...
