• Bitter Springs to Edith Falls

    May 8–9, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Just a 168km drive to Edith Falls ( but 50km, north of Katherine) from Bitter Springs, and we arrived relatively early. It was very hot and humid ( no power here ), so no air conditioning!
    The plunge pool was closed because apparently there was a crocodile sighting & they were still surveying the area. That meant to have a swim, we had to climb to the upper pool! It's a 2.6km round trip ( climb, to be honest ), so we left that until 3.30 pm, until it was a tad cooler.
    The track was much harder than I remembered, but we are both 7 years older. It was definitely worth it as you'll see from the photos. The evening was spent eating dinner outside with lights off because of the bugs that are attracted by the light. A lovely peaceful night with not too many other campers.
    Darwin tomorrow.
