I'm having a shocker. I left my bowl and fork at Katherine. My $350 noise cancelling earbuds stopped working, and I think I left my headlamp at Wagait beach. At least without the headlamp I won't be able to see the spiders everywhere.
I left for Litchfield National Park today. I went the "back way" which goes along a dirt road from the Cox Peninsula.
I'd heard that this camp ground gets full really early (by 10:30am) but when I arrived after midday there were a bunch of spots. They're all designed for caravans. So I'm camped off the back of the spot in the bush. A family came up this afternoon to see if they could share with me so they're in the actual caravan spot.
The falls are great. There is a big lagoon sort of bit at the bottom that you can swim in. I went down and swam over and sat under the waterfall. I probably ruined hundreds of photos in that time.
All around the lagoon there are trees with strange long black fruit hanging from them. I found it strange because the trees weren't the same species. I stared for a while and realised they were hundreds of bat's. They all flew over about half an hour ago.
This afternoon I found a shady clearing to read my book and while I was reading I could hear a noise. I looked up and two kites were having a full blown dust up. They'd dived down into the clearing and were fighting all around me. It was nuts! By the time I got the camera they'd flown up above me but were still having little goes at each other.
I'll probably stay here another day and maybe head out on a little tour of some of the other places tomorrow.
Unfortunately it appears my internet is too crap to upload photos to the blog.
