Darwin - Litchfield

Thursday, 25th March. I took it easy in the last few days in Darwin. It rained in Darwin for the past few days and it was not just any rain. It was heavier than my shower nozzel output in the UK. You would be completely soaked within a few seconds. Fortunetely it doesn't last for very long.

Today I went on the Litchfield tour. I had a large constrictor python wrapped around me. It was a little heavy. The skin was smoother than I imagined. It was really early in the morning and I was still half asleep so I wasn't frighten at all. Then it tied to get into my shirt...




Then we went on a jumping croc cruise for an hour. I saw quite a few crocs that jumped for us. The guide hung a piece of meat on a stick to lure the croc over and the croc will need to jump to get the food. I saw one that was over 4 meters long. We were advised to keep out hands in the boat.

Saw a very large termite mound. It looked like a large vertical pile of mud. Then went you get up close, there's thousands of them running around like mad. It gave me goosebumps.

We visited 4 waterfalls in Litchfield. Swimming was closed in the first 2 waterfalls. However we were able to go into the last two falls. The water was refreshing, but it would be nice if it was a bit more cooler. The last pool area had many levels with little waterfalls. I sat underneath a few of the waterfalls but they are quite powerful. I had to keep a hand on my bikini because of the force of the water. I can feel it peeling off my bum.

I managed to tread water in one of the calmer but deep pools. Yeah for me!
