Hello Katherine, Northern Territory...

                                     
On Tuesday 17th October after a couple hours driving from Litchfield, we arrived at Katherine for the second time on this journey. On our way to darwin we drove through Katherine and stopped for a lunch break and to refuel and buy some groceries, and this time we stopped for 2 nights. 
We first explored Edith Falls....
We then set up our site and made our way down to the Katherine Hot Springs...
The Travelling Bible made it to Katherine, Northern Territory and the lovely Katherine Hot Springs...
The hot springs were actually warm and refreshing springs. They were refreshing to soak in and the water was beautiful and clear. It was just beautiful and what we needed on a very hot Northern Territory day!

Just LOVELY!

We spent 2 relaxing nights at Katherine enjoying some relaxing and refreshing soaks in the hot springs and enjoying some dips in the pool at the van park we stayed at for 2 nights, it was both relaxing and refreshing!
The town in Katherine is similar to quite a few of the outback towns up North, although it is a bigger town then most. Their is a big police presence here, it takes a bit of getting used to and when the liquor stores open in the afternoon the police actually guard each and every liquor store, it's quite sad but that is how it is here, their is a lot of alcohol abuse here unfortunately.

We ask that you pray with us for each and every area we visit..Prayer is powerful...showing Gods LOVE is powerful...offering a helping hand to those who need one is powerful xo

I hope all is good with everyone.
Love, Dimi xo

Hello Beautiful Litchfield, Northern Territory...

We arrived at Litchfield on Monday 16th October. It only took us about 1 hour to get to Litchfield from Darwin, it was WONDERFUL! 
We stayed at a van park which was basically someones backyard sort of converted to a simple van park but we didn't mind, we spent the whole day and some of the evening at Litchfield National Park, it was WONDERFUL!
We went to 3 waterholes...Buley Rockholes, Florence Falls and Wangi Falls and we returned to the girls favourite, Buley Rockholes at the end of the day for a few hours before it bucketed down on our way back to our van site!
 Can you spot the travelling bible? The Travelling Bible made it to Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory, WAAHOOO!
Our site for the day/night...
Spotted this large around 50 year old termite mound...
Walked the short walk from the car park to GORGEOUS Buley Rockhole...
JUMP! Shane JUMP!
JUMP Elissa!
JUMP Serena!


Shane is a little frightened of heights...
It was about 130 steps down to Florence Falls...
 The girls swam across the the waterfall with Shane...
Mr. Shane SPUNK Rech...
 
And this waterhole is Wangi Falls...



 And then it absolutely bucketed down, crazy lightning, freezing our bottoms off, before it got super muggy and sticky again, Hahaha!

Litchfield National Park was one of our favorite places we've visited on our trip and in the Northern territory. You should check it out, we would sure love to visit Litchfield again in the future and explore it some more. 
We had a WONDERFUL time at Litchfield National Park.
I hope all is well in your world.
Take Care,
Dimi
