Gg: Victoria Crossing to Litchfield NP

Gg:

Near Victoria Crossing is Sullivan’s campground, which was where we stayed.

No swimming, no amazing walks, nothing of those sorts. Just a campground with a picnic bench and a spot for a fire (on which we cooked Irish stew ... mmm).

So, there’s not much to say about it.

But then Katherine Gorge was very nice.

The swimming spot was in part of the Katherine River, and you’d swim off a special jetty (but it was under maintenance, so we swam off the boat ramp).

Most spectacular, though, was hiring canoes and canoeing up the Katherine River through the first gorge (out of, oh, six) to a lovely swimming place. Then back down the river to the campgrounds. It was beautiful.

After Katherine, we traveled north to Douglas Daly, which had a beautiful thermal pool ... aahhhhhh.................

Litchfield NP, which had Florence Falls, Buley’s Rock hole (above the falls), Wangi Falls... and others that I can’t remember. We swam in two of those spots—just not Buley’s Rock hole. We loved swimming to a little (but deep) warm pool, but it was popular so we would wait till nobody else was there.

And now, Darwin!
