We arrived in Darwin on Saturday.  We were going to stay in Litchfield National Park but it looked quite busy what with being Easter so we decided to go straight into Darwin. We went into Litchfield for a drive and that is where the photos were taken of the Magnetic Termite Mounds.  These stand around 2 metres tall.  There are three different termite mounds.  The magnetic ones are the most interesting as the termites build the mounds in a north to south direction. It is to do with the heat and coolness of the day.   We found a caravan park about 9 kms from Darwin.  We were only going to stay here for 2 days but decided to stay an extra 2.  Today (Monday) we went into Darwin and had a bit of a look around and then went into Crocosauras Cove.  The photo of the croc being fed is the croc that featured in the Crocodile Dundee movies. 
Tomorrow I think we are going to have a quiet one.
