Litchfield Park: Florence Falls & Buley

After my last long drive of 4 hours, I reached Litchfield Park and made an immediate stop at Buley Rockhole. It was a series of swimming and soaking areas along the creek's path. This is another thermal spring with clear refreshing waters.

I then went to Florence Falls, were my camping reservation was. This was a much larger swimming hole. I was so happy that I bought a noodle in Mataranka, as I comfortably floated in this fresh water swimming hole.

I practiced my swimming and noticed I'm getting better. I suppose it is in me. And that being out of swimming areas for almost 3 years one would get rusty. I sat with the awareness of my comfort in water once again.

These last areas are helping me forget the challenge to arrive here. Although I made some mistakes in Western Australia planning, the Northern territory is rewarding.

I'm told that the NT is only accessible a few months out of the year as flooding and extreme heat is usual 8-9 months out of the year. So blessings for coming at the right time.Read more
