Litchfield NP and beyond NT

The next morning we did the 1.6km loop walk through the rainforest to the top of the Wangi falls. Then back down to the pool for a refreshing dip. 

That’s Buster next to the water tank

As we made our back to Buster we bumped into Gavin and Robyn again and enjoyed a chat. Back at camp we got a few jobs done and just whiled away the hot afternoon.

On Wednesday as we left Litchfield National Park we stopped at Walker Creek. 

 

There were plenty of spots to swim in the creek near the day use picnic areas located by the carpark, and also 600 metres along the track at the Rocky Falls day use area.

We continued along the road heading north and then turned westward to Dundee Beach on Fog Bay. The area was originally developed as a weekend retreat for Darwin residents during the 1990’s. The local economy is still largely dependent on tourism, with fishing being the main attraction. As we aren’t into fishing we went to the tavern and enjoyed a pub lunch. 

We drove to another part of the beach to a war memorial.

Later we went to our campsite at Dunmatta ($20 unpowered, toilet and shower) about 7km out.
