Litchfield Park

The closer we drove to the top of Australia the hotter it became. By the time we reached Litchfield Park we were so ready to jump into the water. 

There are many spots to stop along the way. We walked along a path and came along these gorgeous rock pools. People were lounging around enjoying the beautiful day. 

There were too many people so we decided to move along to the next place. 

Florence Falls is in the bottom of a valley. We walked down a zillion stairs to reach the bottom. We didn't take any photos of the swimming area because the rocks were slippery and I am clumsy when it comes to cameras and water. It was pretty perfect to be swimming in waterfall fed pool. Some people were climbing up the rocks and jumping off but that seemed both difficult and needlessly dangerous. 

If you look closely you can see some people swimming. Imagine that they are us. 

We then went to Wangi Falls. We swam across this peaceful pond to the waterfalls on the other side. We sat on the rocks beneath the small fall and the water that had collected in the pools and been warmed by the sun was like a hot tub! 

Bobbing around in natural swimming places was the perfect way to end our roadtrip.
