Litchfield National Park

FLORENCE FALLS Had a great few days staying just outside the park, only downside was no internet access or mobile coverage, really miss that, but a small price to pay. Visited some great sites. You walk down 135 stairs to the base of these falls and swim in the rockpool, deep and clear, it was just divine. Yesterday we had a great day 4 wheel driving, lot's of dust, even went through water 70cm's deep, strange seeing waves lapping the bonnet, but great fun, it was Paul's birthday, guess I will owe him a car wash!
BULEY CREEK this creek leads to the Florence falls and at one stage it cascades over several rock steps so lot's of people bathing.

TJAYNERA FALLS At the end of the 4 wheel drive track we walked 1.7kms to these falls, the rock pool here was just lovely, I was fortunate enough to have five minutes of being the only one in there. Look how clear the water is.

MAGNETIC TERMITES As the name suggests, they build their nests north/south and there was a whole area of them, they look like tombstones.

CATHEDRAL TERMITES this structure is close to 5 metres tall and around 50 years old, funny thing is all the termite nests survive fire and other animals etc take refuge in the gaps.
LOST CITY As you can imagine being the rock person that I am I was in heaven here. There are just large rock structures everywhere after driving in via a dirt track of 10.5 kms.

ADELAIDE RIVER WAR CEMETERY If you have ever been to the war cemetery at the River Kwai out of Bangkok, this was very similar and was as beautifully kept. It is where the victims of the bombing of Darwin on the 19th February 1942 are laid to rest. Adelaide River is north of Katherine.
