We left Scott Creek at 0730. Along the way, we caught up on a few outstanding repairs and groceries at Katherine. Also dropped into the information centre to get the guff on what to see and do in the area so that we could plan our next few days.
We made off to Litchfield National Park. We pulled up at a 4WD camping ground at Florence Falls. There is also a 2WD camping ground which was pretty full when we arrived around 1530. The sign leading into here said 'no caravans'. But we didn't have any problems with our van. The road was a little steep (in descent) in places and some tight corners but overall pretty good. The truth will be in the pudding when we leave to tackle the uphill climb with the load.
After settling in, we took a short walk to the base of the falls. Took some piccies and a swim. The water was flowing well and the falls were beautiful. The water - so clear and a bit cool. In parts, the water was up to 6 feet deep and the bottom was still clearly visible.
The temperature around here is quite warm given it's winter at around the high 20's and low 30's.
As the crow flies, we are only about 80km from Darwin. We plan to stay here for 2 nights and them poke on to Darwin.
