Litchfield National Park

Some people had said to us, "Litchfield-do, Kaka-don't". Well I wouldn't go as far to say that, but it is deffinitly on our list of places to go again. The thing we missed in Kakadu were safe places to swim, and this Litchfield has a great deal of. This park had many things to bring people in like the huge termite mounds, the magnetic termite mounds and some great landscape, but what really draws the crowds are the swimming holes. Most of the water holes were not very wide but due to so many years of cascading would be more than 12' deep. There were also beautiful waterfalls and walks to do. We ended up spending 5 nights in this park and almost didn't want to leave. We were of course sleeping in our car, washing our clothes in the sink at public toilets and cooking on open fires. All of this we got to do for free because no one came to collect camping fees. We met some great backpackers along the way who would come share our fire at night and even ran into some friends we made in Kakadu. All in all a great addition to our trip!
