Waterfalls galore

July 3, 2010 - After a day of rest in Darwin, we headed to Litchfield National Park for, you guessed it, more hiking! What makes Litchfield a little different, though, is the accessibility to 4 different waterfalls and swimming holes. Also, obscenely tall and large termite mounds are common residents of the park.

We hiked around three of the four waterfalls, swam in a natural swimming hole (free of crocs), and compared our heights against those of the termite mounds. Here are some photos to highlight our day (we left our other camera in Sydney, so these only cover the first half of our day). Enjoy, whoever you are... if anyone is still reading this...


 No Australian park is complete without one of these signs.

Some termites can sense magnetic north, and build their homes facing that direction.

Who's taller, 2 of us or 1 of them?

Wangi Falls... closed due to crocodile risk!

Hike to the top of the falls
