Litchfield National Park: Florence Falls

We drove 130klm south of Darwin to Litchfield NP this morning and set up tent. This is our 5th camp site since leaving just over 2 weeks ago. Litchfield was declared a NP in 1986 with its monsoon rainforest, waterfalls and sandstone outcrops. This was home to the Wagait peoples. It is named after a European explorer, and has been used for tin and copper mining. The falls are near our camp ground so an afternoon dip was in order followed by camp coffee and a drive to Buleys Rockhole and along a 4WD track to The Lost City (formation of weathered sandstone blocks and pillars...a little underwhelming after Kakadu).Read more
