We left Darwin and after some quick pit-stops and headed for Litchfield National Park. Though Kakadu is more popular, we heard from a number of backpackers that Litchfield is just as good and easier to get around without a 4WD. Upon entering the park we first stopped at Buley Rockhole, a number of cascading step pools. Some were deep enough to jump off of the rocks into, so we spent a bit of time exploring here before heading further down the road to Florence Falls. After a quick view from above, we headed down to the pool below and enjoyed some nice swimming. The water was nice and cold on a hot day and we were assured there were no crocodiles inhabiting the pool.
We decided to camp for the night at Wangi Falls, on the western edge of the park, and got there just in time to grab one of the last campsites. Had a nice night though the wallabies kept us awake a bit jumping around everywhere.
