Looking forward to tomorrows adventures
Wangi Falls in Lichfield
we travelled to Lichfield National Park in the Northern Territory passing thru a quaint town called Batchelor >the Falls were brilliant!! we swam in the crystal clear falls freshwater and admired the awesome waterfall that fills it.Creatures sighted around the area included birds.strange looking spiders,frogs and even Bats !! we opted to stay in an UN-powered site overnight at the falls. Generators were NOT allowed as to maintain the peace & tranquillity that IS Wangi Falls.After the swim & dinner the air became very humid & uncomfortably hot !!(we still needed the experience !) After dark the heavens opened up (it hadn’t rained for months) the aroma from the forest was intoxicating & very fresh.We were still feeling rather warm so we ventured out into the pitch darkness in the rain & the distant lightning flashes momentarily turned night into day BUT what an experience !! Pictures to follow > Next stop THE TOP END Darwin !!
