Leitchfield National Park

We drove down to Leitchfield after we left Darwin and were all pleasantly surprised. Perhaps because Kakadu is so close, Leitchfield doesn't get a lot of press, but it was wonderful. We stayed at the Wangi Falls campground which boasted a gorgeous waterfall crashing down about 200 m away (replacing the night sounds from Darwin's traffic to rushing water, definetly an improvement). Heather and I did a nice little walk around to the top of falls through the forest which was lovely and cool (I have included a pic of Wangi).

We checked out Tolmer falls which were great. You could only see them from the top, but they had a very inviting pool at the bottom that looked perfect for swimming in, especially when you see it during the afternoon's heat. The highlight of Leitchfield was an afternoon spent lounging in a shady pool in the forest, complete with a nice little waterfall. It was filled with tiny little fish that we spent hours trying to catch (a local told us spit works best - don't ask).
