Today was time for Lichtfield National Park, a huge national park about 100 km south of Darwin. After visiting, it took me more than 1 hour to drive through it on my way home. So it is huge!
This is a termite mound, about 5-6 meters high! There were lots of them, and they had these undefinable mud-looking shapes. They are built by and inhabited by termites.
Here is a closeup.
Even the reads were flooded. Fortunately I know how to drive on the right side of the road, which made it easier to get past. It was 30-40 cm deep at its' deepest.
It was well worth the trip, to see the enormous forces of the Buley Rockhole. Look at this and the picture below. There was a roaring sound from the fall. Amazing, simply amazing!
This is the Florence Falls, another of the majestic falls!
Walking down to it, there was so much water, it had partially flooded the path.
Down at it, there was a pond. It was possible to swim just beneath the waterfall! The water felt warm and pleasant. Since I was alone, I didn't try swimming in it.
This is the most famous waterfall in Litchfield NP, the Wangi Falls. There was a pond here too, and it was easily accessible. However, there were warnings for crocodiles, so the pond was closed. Didn't wanna become crocodile food. At least not yet...
