We arrived at the town of Batchelor around 10am. You may remember the name 'Rum jungle', well that was the name before they renamed it Batchelor. No idea why because we did not stop in the town.
We then visited a number of different places including the giant termite mounds plus the Buley Rockholes, Florence Falla and Wangi Falls.
The swimming is great - the water was a pleasant temperature and crystal clear. We swam at the Florence Falls (140 steps to the water but not too hard) and the Buley Rockholes - they were both great - quite a few people there but the water was superb!
The most spectacular place was the Wangi Falls - they are fantastic, but unfortunately due to the large amount of water and the possibility of salt-water crocs, they were closed. We gather that July/August is the best time after the water has dropped and the rangers declare it safe. There were two falls dropping into a crystal clear pool of approximately 70 metres diameter - all fringed by palm trees!!
We did a lot of walking today and we were all stuffed. After returning to the van park, we had a communal BBQ, a few cool drinks and turned in. Might sleep in tomorrow....
