What better way to escape Melbourne's chilly winter mornings than a trip to the top end? Yes, lovely Darwin where the weather is a beautiful high 20 degrees every day. (But they do tell me the wet season is horrendous).
So, we made our way north and lapped up the lovely weather. I also loved the tropical plants. Think frangipani, marvellous lilies and the like. Okay. I don't know all the names but it is a tropical wonderland.
At Wangi Falls, in the Litchfield National Park, the monsoonal forest is a treat. The shrill sound of bats overhead are disconcerting. I felt like I was an extra in a some thriller and something evil was about to swoop and harm me. The kids were scared stiff. It's one way to keep them quiet.
A great way to cool off is to jump into the falls.
