    Lovely Litchfield

    Jun 27–30, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Set up camp at caravan park just outside Litchfield National Park - to be our home for next 3 nights. - a bit of a relief to not be packing up and moving on each day. No tv or phone reception but at least starlink solves that problem.

    We just visited the main points of interest, such as Wangi Falls, Buley Rockpools and Florence Falls. These ones we had visited about 10 years ago. The nicest was Wangi Falls as it was easy access to the water. The Buley rockpools are very popular but I found them too crowded and the rocks are very slippery. I prefer floating down the creek at home - much more enjoyable.

    There were a couple of other waterfalls / lookouts / bushwalks we went to as well as checking out the magnetic termite mounds which almost looked like a cemetery with lots of similar sized grey headstones. They are built in a north south alignment - something to do with temperature regulation. Nature is fascinating.

    Off to Darwin now for a couple of weeks and a chance to catch up on some housekeeping (washing, grocery shopping etc) and generally just relaxing for a bit.    Read more
