WOW WOW WOW WOW. We couldn't face going straight into Darwin. Driving for five days over 2500kms and we needed some time out and entering a city after being in middle of nowhere was extremely daunting. So we got to Batchelor 100ks south of Darwin and stayed in camp site very close. An early night after fun packed day and we were off to sleep. The next day early start and went to see the wonders of untouched australia before they built all these cities somewhere where the aboriginals probably lived many years ago! imagine living off this land! I could have stayed here for ever!... read more

We got to Litchfield park at about noon. Since the Air Con on the bus was broken we were all even more psyched to get off the bus an into the water by waterfall #1. The water was cold, but once you got in the fun began. We swam over to a warmer pool, which was right next to the waterfall, and really deep. After some exploration was a hot dog lunch. The hot dogs here are this bright scary red color. they taste ok, but look creepy.We also licked the bums of green ants. (they are a snack) Swimming ... read more
