Waterlogged in waterfalls

It's not a bad problem to have I realise but my ears are definitely in need of some drying out from so many swims in the waterfalls. Even without a proper wet season, Litchfield NP has water falling from its many falls.

We stayed the first night at Florence Falls (pic above) via the 4wd campground track and then moved over for two nights to Wangi Falls (pic to left but only half the falls) where the swimming hole is like a giant water hug but the mosquitos were pesky. Even with the nightly annoyance of bites, we could have swam here for ages! And Matt loved his cliff diving much to my grimacing each time.

The track to Sandy Creek was still closed so we spent days on asphalt, if not in water, and visiting the surrounds. The area also has a 'Lost City' to hike around and giant termite mounds! This region near Darwin is definitely more crowded than our past sites so we don't get to enjoy the complete solitude until the day trippers head home for the night.

But the other advantage of the popularity is a bit more on offer which we took advantage of a ranger talk on the area and an indigenous leader talk complete with a separate section on secret women's business (ie check out the pic of Wangi Falls above and the symbolic feminine representation...).

On to Darwin next to stay with a childhood friend of Matt's.
