Managing to obtain a midday checkout we had a sleep in before changing the Air Con belt on Trev and heading for Litchfield NP. Think some of the rangers here had the same ideas as those at Kakadu although most things were still open with exception of Sandy Creek and a number of the 4wd tracks.
First stop was Wangi Falls, amazing although once again we are looking at things in the heat of the day.
A little more exploring was done but due to lack of interest and the fear of flyingfoxes this adventure was short lived. We headed off looking for a suitable camp site as the ones visited at Florence Falls and Buley Rockhole did not have a great coverage of grass and the weather looked ominous, muddy camp sites are not fun. We settled on a very strange place just down the road from Wangi Falls, Litchfield Tourist Park. Was different but just what we needed, grassy site and facilities.
There was a massive storm over Darwin and luckily we missed it.
In the morning we headed off to Buley Rockhole for a swim, this was great considering the temp was already nearly 40.
After this we headed down a little further to Florence Falls, another must where you need to conquer 135 stairs to get down to the bottom.
We also stopped in at the Magnetic Termite mounds where they all seem to be facing the same way as well as Tolmer Falls. The whole visit to the NP was well worth it and would recommend it to anyone who visits.
