Another pack up and travel day and we headed off into Katherine for a few supplies and then off up the Stuart Highway. Lunch was at Pine Creek, which offered a lot of historical interest but we were a little behind schedule so we made a note to call in on the way back from Darwin. Our destination was Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park and I knew it was on the other side of the park from the highway about 60 kms from Batchelor. Driving into Litchfield National Park was a bit of an eye opener, I knew it was reasonably close to Darwin and quite popular but I did not expect bitumen roads 60 kms right into the actual camp ground. We arrived about 4:30 and were very fortunate to get the second last campsite available. Initially we were not too happy about it, they were compacted crushed stone and it was near impossible to drive pegs into the ground, however an hour or so later camp was set up and we headed down to the falls.

The big advantage of the Wangi campgrounds is that they are about 500 mtrs from the falls and a swim in this big freshwater pool with the falls cascading in quickly made us forget about the rocky campsite
