As you can tell I just loved this place. Would go back in a heartbeat. The infinity pool was cool to get into, but once in I could of stayed in for ages, Chris got in once, but I couldn’t convince him again. The weather was perfect.
After a final swim for me and lots of photos, we left the caravan park about 9.30. Before long and we had crossed over the border into the Northern Territory.
We stayed at Bachelor for 5 days at a youth camp . No youths there,!! In fact there was only one other couple that stayed for a couple of nights. A well kept secret, lovely grounds, nice caretakers, lots of birds, another top spot to spend a few days exploring the area.
There is a creek running through the property, and there was a canoe we could borrow, but there was no way I was getting in that water, just a very quick walk along a track, then I was out of there, after all we are in the N T.
The caretaker loves his garden and has put in a memorial tree garden, and has a lovely lot of desert roses growing, as well as other well cared for shrubs.
It really is a birds paradise. Each morning and evening I sat and watched the birds come and go, so peaceful.
A day in Darwin, to do some shopping .Also had time while staying here to catch up on washing and cooking. We also visited the WWII cemetery at Adelaide River. They have Desert Roses planted between the plaques and the area is both beautiful and peaceful. Not sure if I got photos of all the different colours, but I tried.
Out in Litchfield there is a place called The lost City, sure could get lost among all the unusual rocks. We spent quite some time in there, just wandering and taking too many photos. At least that made the horrible, 4 wheel drive, road in, worth it.
Litchfield is one of the most beautiful parks . We have been through it before and visited the many springs, so this time we saw a different side. Years ago you could drive around the huge termite mounds, but now there is a parking area and walking tracks with viewing platforms.
We also visited the butterfly farm at Batchelor, it was more than I expected, loved it, and didn’t Chris look cute with a butterfly on his nose!
So many different coloured butterflies, as well as a restaurant and a animal nursery, and a overgrown garden with all sorts of vegetables bearing fruit. It really is a jungle out there.
The weeks are going fast and we want to be home by the end of August, so time to leave here. On our last evening the sun was like a ball of fire, just like you expect a Northern Territory sunset to be.
