Litchfield national park

---

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!

Photos

set off into the park

magnetic termite
these mounds are self regulating as these termites meke sure they build into the sun east facing to get most sun and then stay on east in morning and when gets hot move into middle. Also built dependant on direction of wind, rain etc unbelievable insects!
