Lichfield

Headed after the crocfest to Lichfield national park, we had contemplated kakadu but were told you really need a 4wd and lichfield is equally as nice, IF NOT NICER, so we decided to see for ourselves. First the 113 kms drive from Darwin, we arrived in Bachelor on the outskirts of the park and thwey had an unusual sign that alcohol and PORNOGRAPHY is probhiited there! Must be a christian part of Oz. Our first visit in the park was the termite mounds I've no idea how long it would take them to build these but as you can see from the pictures they soar over us. Next stop to Florence Falls and a nice swim amongst all the fish, ten onto a bluey rock pool for another swim in beautiful crystal clear water. We went to see Tolmer Falls for the scenic waterfall, then finally we arrived in Wangi Falls, we went for a swim but noticed on the way in that freshwater crocs inhabit this area and saltwatercrocs (the vicious ones) have been caught here, I gauged the situation and thought the children swimming would probably we easier pickings then me! As I'm writing this now you can take it we survived, Now to camp for the night.
