Litchfield National Park

Monday, March 24, 08
Again, leaving early, we head to and through Jabiru, a small, very small, gold mining town in the park. (Blink and you'll miss the petrol station which is the town) There is no way out of the park except through this out of the way town, unless we backtrack. Over the South Alligator River and Wildman River, we turn south along the Stewart Highway at the town of Humpty Do (I had to get that name in there). In the town of Batchelor we have a bite of lunch and continue into the park. Here are Magnetic Anthills,and others, which are built high into the sky. We stop in at three of the four waterfalls in the park - Florence, Tolmer and Wangi. The rainfall has brought a crashing amount of water over the cliffs. On our return to Darwin, Pat suddenly turns left and we enter the yard of a couple of her friends. Dinner is pizza and drinks with a return to my lodging quite late. A whirlwind of a tour.
