LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK 22-24/09/08
Here's Wangi Falls - even though it was late June - Still no swimming because there have been a couple of deaths when the water level is up - some kind of whirlpool generated here.
Our camp at Wangi - we LOVE this ! ! ! ! !
Lots of sharing going on.
Tolmer Falls - just for a look
Buley Rock Pool - we had LOTS of fun here. It was busy though - BUT with so many pools to choose from - you could almost have one to yourself. Most were deep enough to swim and even DIVE into.
Still Buley Rock Pool.
Still Buley Rock Pool.
Now Florence Falls - so MUCH VARIETY ! !
Still a major Termite problem here.
Which never seems to stop.
ADELAIDE RIVER PUB (couple of 100 km's Sth of Darwin)- This is actually the Buffalo from the 1st "Crocodile Dundee" movie. Obviously now dead and stuffed.
Not every day you see an inflatable ROCKET LAUNCHER. There were some major air-force exercises on at the time and this was part of it.
This was at 'Timber Creek' - half way from Katherine to Kununurra. We were planning on some extra km's in another National Park before Kununurra - so wanted to be sure we had enough. Thank goodness we didn't have to fill up - (159 litres)
Some people come up with all sorts of ways to earn a living. This couple have a mobile 2nd hand book-shop.
There was some really lovely county-side along this drive. This kind of thing...
And this. This is close to and similar to the area that the new movie "Australia" was filmed. and no....... Heidi's not pregnant.
WA Finally - The 1st time for all of us.
Lake Argyle - just a tiny fraction - This thing is seriously huge !!
Just a couple of 100 kms South West of Darwin is the very popular Litchfield National Park.
So after popping in to Berry Springs and having a dip we stayed a couple of nights at Wangi Falls in Litchfield.
Many people prefer Litchfield to Kakadu - and I suppose you could put us on that lis

Now Florence Falls - so MUCH VARIETY ! ! Temps were still Late 20's and sometime Early to mid 30's - so all this swimming was very welcome.
Still a major Termite problem here.
Which never seems to stop.HEADING TO WA
We then got a move on and covered 700 kms in one day - in order to get into Kununurra early-ish the next morning.
Because of the Witnessing trip that was due to set off the following week - we needed to get a move on so we didn't hold the others up.
