    Litchfield NP

    18 de julho de 2023, Austrália ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Big sightseeing day today, started the velocity sandstone rocks which were quite impressive. Had a walk around them, with a bit of four-wheel driving to get there. Just lucky we didn’t take the ice susu because it was fairly rough. Second stop was Wangi Falls where the person got Savage by the crocodile, but I reckon I’ve got the crock out but we didn’t have a swim anyway. Beautiful spot though. After Wang Falls, it was round to the Cascades but did not do much there because it was sharpe then off to Darwin River Tavern where we had lunch. This is a good place for a camping. We need to keep this in mind for our next trip. Last stop was Berry Springs and we had a swim. There floated down from the top pool to the big pool and then came back to camp at zebra stone in Litchfield. Fish and chips for tea tonight and will have our fire last night here and we’re off to Dunmurra tomorrow.Leia mais
