Day 42 - Darwin to Litchfield Nation Park
It is quite wet overnight in the tropics, so it was no surprise to wake up to a misty morning. We were camped at one edge of the park, across the road from what seemed to be an alternate caravan park for pig shooting blokes and their feral dogs, which barked all night. The mist made it all seem beautiful and serene.
After packing up we arranged to leave the campertrailer at the Caravan Park while we went into town to the Indo Pacific Marine display. This place is bordering on strange, or rather the people running it. They have a marine display of life in Darwin Harbour. They use no filters and the fish don't get fed, it is all balanced within itself. The girls fed barramundi a prawn head each, they make quite a snap as they grab the food, and these fish were only small.
It was very educational, but I couldn't help being glad to get out of there.
You see some different signs in the NT, see two examples below.
From Indo Pacific Marine,, we got provisions and headed out, very late, to Litchfield Nation Park. We wanted to stay at Wangi Falls, but for the first time all campsites were full, so we had to camp 4 km up the road. There were two caravans camped on the road of the camping area, crazy!
