Litchfield National Park
South of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory, Litchfield National Park is a huge sandstone plateau clocked with dry woodlands and forests. Close to the edge of the escarpment, springs bubble into creeks and waterfalls that flow into the lush rainforest in the valley below.

Recent Tips
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
