Lovely Litchfield

Well, we just loved Litchfield. It was so pretty, and had lots of safe water to swim in. Everything was so close and the bugs weren't too bad!




Yep, we are now in fair dinkum croc country!!


First stop, Tolmer falls. We couldn't walk in there because a) it's too jolly steep, b) its protected because of a colony of rare ghost bats, c) and orange bellied horseshoe bats.

WARNING - Grandma and Nana look away now.

This is us at the croc infested crossing, see the little sign? Will we?


You bet!

Hold on hope for the best, and see, the other car made it through just fine.


Wangi Falls, a very popular swimming hole.
I wouldn't let anyone swim because they had been closed until this day rumours of a salty were rife. No way were we going in.


Our favourite swimming place in Litchfield, Buley rockhole. Nice and clear, croc free and so much fun.
There was a series of these and so if one was a bit crowded you just moved up or down stream to another one.

How nice is that?
To top it all off we were staying in a huge, powered, grassy campsite with an ensuite and our very own washing machine and sink in the town of Batchelor. Ahh the serenity!!!
