Litchfield National Park

We have split up from Gran & Poppy, as they have the dogs, and cannot enter the National Park (as sprung by a Ranger!). They instead, have stayed a couple of nights at Fennis River -very pretty, but very hot!

What a Beautiful National Park! Lissa especially feels drawn to this place.

Wangi Falls



Ant, Lis, Nat & Noah have camped at Wangi Falls. Unfortunately, after we have just paid for the accomodation, we find out that it is closed for Swimming! Wangi Falls are beautiful. But instead of just sitting around, we went for a drive to Florence Falls (back 25 kms).



Florence Falls

After 1,000 or so steps down to the falls, it was well worth the walk.

The Falls are beautiful. The water is refreshingly cool (but no, not freezing) and lovely & clear with heaps of fish.

We went for a walk through the park & it was the best part. We would stop at each creek crossing & Nat would hop in for another swim.

Back at Wangi Falls ...

Would you believe that the next day they openned up Wangi Falls for swimming again. So, we spent most of the day down there swimming & reading & swimming & eating & swimming. Wonderful!

Anyway, a fire has just started up in the scrub across the road from where I am entering this blog, and the ash is starting to come onto Dad's computer & we're not sure if we are going to get the car and van out of this area, so I had better go.

There's no photos here, cos I'm entering this blog on the beach at Darwin, and the connection obviously isn't strong enough (although, it's still better than at Mataranka).

(I have now put some photos in, as we are in Katherine for a night - the hub of Northern Territory! Enjoye!)

Love to everyone & thanks heaps for your comments - they have been a wonderful way of feeling in connection with all of our family & friends. God Bless. (I'll try to put photos on again later).
