Litchfield Park
Spent Monday in Litchfield National Park unfortunately it was an NT public holiday for Mayday so the Park was pretty crowded. It's about 130km from Darwin (ie just down the road).Florence Falls was open to swimming ie the crocs, after the wet season had been moved elsewhere but Wangi Falls was not safe yet so it was empty.
Also saw some magnetic Termite mounds these are aligned exactly North - South and quite a different construction to the type I showed earlier

Re: Litchfield Park
You went south from Darwin instead of East, mate.You could have visited my son at Kakadu.

On the lookout for a real Crocodile Dundee character at last I find him on the Mary River.
Bearded weather beaten Sean Chisholm (Chizo) a wildlife ranger-guide at Wildman Wilderness Lodge is the real deal.
Demonstrating life jacket drill before our morning cruise he chuckles “not that you are going to need them in these crocodile infested waters”.
He narrowly missed being eaten by one earlier in the year.
“I heard this huge clunk – a big croc was munching into my boat.
“I wasn’t worried though, if your time is up, it’s up. It’s our way of living out here in the Outback where you’re 170km away from a doctor if you get bitten by a mean snake.”
Mick Dundee would have approved, because Chizo goes on to add, “But it’s the place we love and call home”.
He was on Ch7 "Sunrise" program a few days later but not to worry, you can see him on "Getaway" very shortly.
