Litchfield National Park

AAAAaaaghhh...  Moving photos around on blogger.com really is difficult. They just won't go where you put them on the "design" screen. So, my apologies for the poor presentation here!
Litchfield National Park is a lovely place, not too far from Darwin, that is visited by hoards of tourists in the dry-season, but by hardly anyone in the wet-season. However, Dave the Intrepid does not let the weather interfere with his life too much, so as a result I had Litchfield National Park pretty much to myself (well, there might have been 10 other people there).
One of the reasons it is so popular is that it has 2 sets of waterfalls at which you can swim around in the natural waterholes, flirting with fellow travellers. I am told this by my mate who used to take tours there. In the wet-season the waterholes are closed for swimming, to avoid flirty young travellers being consumed by hungry crocodiles who move in with the wet. So, I didn't get to swim, or flirt, but I did get to see some lovely waterfalls without anybody else around. The car-park at the falls above must hold 200 cars and 20 buses but mine was the only vehicle there that day!
As well as several waterfalls, the park also has a large area of magnetic termite-mounds. Unfortunately the "board-walk" for viewing these impressive structures doesn't actually take you anywhere near them, so they are not as impressive as they should be.
The photos above show some flying foxes hanging out near a waterfall, the boot of my car, and the fuel computer of the car. I don't get to drive a car much anymore, so whenever I do drive, I enjoy it very much. At different times in my life my car has effectively been my home, so it was good fun to turn my hire-car into a home on wheels for a few days. I emptied out my backpack and spread everything, along with my groceries, out over the boot. A perfect wardrobe and pantry!
Litchfield National Park does not contain any fuel-selling establishments. I knew this before entering, but didn't realise how far into the park I had to go to get to the sights I wanted to see. It became apparent that the fuel in the tank was only just going to be enough to get me out of the park, so I had to be conservative with my adventures. Silly me. However, on the drive out of the park the "kms remaining" started dropping much quicker than the distance travelled, and it became apparent I would be fuel-less before escaping the park. However, fortune favoured the stupid and I managed to drive the last 12km or so when my car was telling me I couldn't. That avoided some inconvenience!
