Litchfield National Park



Lower Cascade Falls and rockpool, this one had a hard walk in over creek crossings and rocks.  There was a swim pool just above this little rockpool as well with another waterfall above it.  The water in this pool was deep.



Wangi Falls just reopened today for swimming after the removal of a croc.



Tolmer Falls, view from a platform only.  The bottom of the gorge is inaccessible due to a protected species of bats.



Florenc Falls with rockpool for swimming below

Buley Waterhole, this is one of the pools at the bottom of each set of small falls.   Very deep water.

One of the termite mounds in the Park.  This one is prob. the most photographed.  "The Cathedral"

Two days touring Litchfield National Park.  The park itself isnt all that attractive, quite scrubby but a lot greener than Kakadu.  You come here simply for the waterfalls and rockpool/swimming holes.   We didnt do 3 of the 8 waterfalls because they meant big walks or 4WD drives and we are OVER both of those.  What we dont see this trip, will be here the next time we come to the N.T.   The water in every creek, waterhole etc. that we came across was crystal clear, and so inviting.  Even the thought of a croc, couldnt put you off getting in and cooling off.  There is a Festival and Market on Sat. in Batchelor so we will do that, there is also a big parachuting festival on and we have seen them in the skies the last two days.   Its another long weekend this weekend - Darwin Cup, last week it was Show Day.
