Lichfield Park is just over an hour's drive from Darwin and is a complete escape from the city. The park is well known for its waterfalls and termite mounds.
The first set of magnetic termite mounds were like tombstones and are perfectly aligned with the sun to regulate the temperature inside the mound.
The cathedral termites are responsible for the construction of the largest termite mounds I've ever seen.
There were also some Australian Hornets close by, a bit too close for comfort...
Next I saw some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Northern Territory, with perfect timing as it is the end of the wet season.
First were the Florence Falls.
The the Tomer Falls, which are located in a beautiful gorge.
Finally the Wangi Falls.
Where I saw some giant spiders....
These falls are in a beautiful tropical forest.
