We were out of the campsite by 8:30am to do some sightseeing in Litchfield before heading to Katherine. Our first stop for the day was Tolmer Falls where we did the hike up to the top of the falls. Next was Wangi Falls, where we also did the hike up to the top of the falls. This was a huge waterfall and the hike took us through monsoon forest and past ginger flowers. When we finished the hike it was approaching midday and we were drenched with sweat because of the hikes and the general hot weather so we decided it was time to drive to Katherine in the comfort of our AC car. We got some gas (135L) and topped up on produce and checked in to the campsite at Katherine Gorge. The campsite had tons of wallabies which came right up to our site and there was a hole at the end of our site which was home to a family of toads.
When Craig was doing the dishes after dinner he felt something tickling his leg and looked down to see a beetle longer than his finger crawling up his leg. After knocking it off it was stuck on its back, where it remained for an hour until he helped it turn onto its feet.
