Litchfield National Park

We decided to go to Litchfield National Park today which is about 90 minutes drive south of Darwin.
The speed limit once you get out of built up areas is 130 kph (81mph)..

The locals all complain that the limit is too low - and given that Alice is 1500km south I suppose you can understand but I would prefer a crash barrier between the lanes.
Once we got to the park there were some slightly bizarre restrictions on what you can and can't do..

Once into the park it was wall to wall forest - really puts areas like Abernethy in the Highlands into perspective. Our camera decided to play up but you get the picture.

One of the key features in the park are the termite mounds. These are known as the Cathedral mounds and are believed to be over 50 years old.

There are several great sounding places in the park that are only accessible during the dry with a 4x4 so we will be returning in late May to explore further.

On return to Darwin we spent some time in one of the local swimming pools to cool the children down as it was a slightly warm 37 degrees today.

Looking for a car tomorrow.
