6 MONTHS ON THE WALLABY

DARWIN TO LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK, EDITH FALLS THEN BACK TO KATHERINE

We left Darwin on Sunday morning and drove to Wangi Falls which is in the Litchfield National Park off the Stuart Hwy. 

We were going to stay at the campground there.  When we got to Wangi the pool at the base of the falls was closed, as was the walk to the top of the falls.

 Also they don't allow generators to be used.  The weather was very hot and humid and we would really need to use the airconditioner so we decided not to stay in the park but go back to Batchelor and stay in a caravan park. On the way to Batchelor we stopped to see the famous Magnetic Termite Mounds.

The following day we left Batchelor and drove to Edith Falls.  We were going to stay at Edith Falls also but again no generators to be used.  So Arnold and Tori had a swim in the pool at the base of the falls, although Tori wasn't that keen to do so because of the croc warning which they have at every falls and, as she says, after seeing Sweetheart, she didn't want to swim where any crocs were, even if they were freshies.

The falls aren't very high but Arnold said the water was wonderful.  I didn't go for a swim although I had planned to.  The water went very deep very quickly and I need somewhere to stand, being a not-so-very- good swimmer.

After leaving Edith Falls we drove back to Katherine.  We are leaving Katherine on Wednesday 30 May and heading towards Kununurra.  We should be there by the weekend and will stay for up to a week, depending on what attractions we want to see etc.  One of the definites will be a trip to Lake Argyle and perhaps a cruise on the Ord River.  Until next time, goodnight.
