Highlights * Sandy Creek Falls
* Florence Falls
Day 1: Darwin - Litchfield National
park
We leave Darwin and head south across the Elizabeth
and Finniss Rivers to Wangi Falls . Along the
way we'll stop and "Boil the Billy" by a pretty
stream. From here we travel to our permanent
camp at "Minjungari" which gets its name from
the beautiful blue waterlilies on the billabong
nearby. After lunch the 4WD vehicles are put
to work as we venture further into the remote,
less visited areas of this tropical wonderland.
The beautiful Sandy Creek Falls is a must and
when seasonal conditions permit, Surprise Creek,
one of Litchfield's well-hidden secrets. In
the late afternoon we return to Minjungari,
where you may see the wildlife come down to
feed and drink at the nearby billabong. Your
Camp Host will delight you with hors d'oeuvres
at sunset and a delicious evening meal cooked
in camp ovens or on the open fire.
Accommodation: Minjungari Camp, Litchfield
National Park . (LD)
Day 2: Minjungari - Darwin
For the early risers and keen birdwatchers
a morning guided walk along the banks of the
billabong will prove rewarding. As well as the
many bird species that inhabit the area, you
may even meet some inquisitive wallabies feeding
nearby. We leave camp and travel to visit some
of the historic sites and explore the pioneer
background of the area at Blyth Homestead. We
then visit Tolmer falls lookout, home to a colony
of rare Orange Horseshoe bats. Travelling on
we visit the breathtaking Florence Falls , before
stopping to view the unique termite mounds found
in this area. We return to Darwin via the small
town of Batchelor , arriving into Darwin in
the late afternoon. (BL)
