We have spent a bit of time at the Litchfield National Park and little towns around it before heading into Darwin, our last capital city to conquer.
The National Park was lovely, except for them burning off most of it. I understand the need to do it, but it really does clear out the scrub and leave black trees and ground behind, Not much 'scenery' due to the smoke haze, but still, it was nice staying in the campgrounds beside the waterfalls. Not many people swimming - could have something to do with the croc traps on the edge of the water holes........
Darwin is a really nice town. The waterfront is beautiful and they have really done it up. We went into the old WWII fuel tunnels that run under the city, wandered through Parliament House, and then spent some time at the war museum. As you can imagine there was a lot of exhibits relating to the bombing of Darwin. Very peaceful place to be, apart from all the big guns!!!
After a rest up in Darwin we are heading to Kakadu (which a lot of people here refer to it as Kakadon't).
