1010 (7145 km) Termite Mounds. We looked at two types - Magnetic and Cathedral. The Magnetic Termites build mounds that "face" the sun and wind and as such it appears they are magnetically aligned. The Cathedral mounds look like cathedrals with fins that radiate from the centre.
1120 (7156 km) Quick look at Florence Falls.
1140 (7160 km) Quick look at Buley Rockholes.
1210 (7189 km) Lunch of Indomie at Wangi Falls. Had a good swim at the plunge pool. There were lots of fish around. Swam across to the waterfall and found there was a "spa pool" naturally carved into the rocks. Then lost the goggles. The kids put on masks and searched the bottom of the plunge pool and found it! MK dived in and retrieved it.
1445 (7189 km) Left Wangi Falls and drove towards Cascades. There was a 1.3 km walk and so we decided to give it a miss as it was too hot to walk that far.

1530 (7231 km) Went back to Florence Falls for another swim. Lots of people there. Ron swam across the pool to rocks on the other side and someone started shouting. There was a snake right next to where he was sitting. Like lightning, Ron jumped off the rocks. Whew! Close call. There was a lot of fish around, fairly big too. Swam to under the falls.
1650 (7231 km) Left Florence Falls.
1730 (7277 km) Pick up camper trailer at Batchelor Resort Caravillage.
1845 (7356 km) Arrived at Howard Springs Caravan Park, just south of Darwin. Site 128 and Cabin 13. Dinner of pasta.
