Adelaide River and Litchfield National Park - NT

Adelaide River is a small town on the Stuart Highway south of Darwin - The War cemetery is the third largest in Australia. The grounds are immaculately kept and there is an air of tranquility and peacefulness.

Chris and I spent 5 days exploring the Litchfield National Park. The park is an ancient landscape shaped by water. It features numerous stunning waterfalls which flow all year round and cascade from the sandstone plateau of the Tabletop Range. The park covers 1500 sq km. We enjoyed our camp at the Litchfield Safari camp.

Enjoy some of the sites......
