After a dirty shower and brekky we headed into the National Park which was just a few kilometres away. From the noise made by the idiots last night and the type of people on the site we should have known that Litchfield wasn't going to be our thing. Our first stop was the magnetic termite mounds which were fascinating. There are thousands if not millions of termite mounds in Australia and we see them most days when we are driving. The termite mounds though in this part of Australia and at Litchfield in particular are huge. We had a walk around them and were able to get up very close to them. We could even see the termites, loads of them, going in and out of the amazing structures they build. They were busy busy. The mounds all align on a north-south axis and the termites that make them are found nowhere else on earth. The termite mound builders are the little worker termites (there are also soldier termites responsible for security and the king and queen responsible for reproduction). As they are completely blind scientists can be sure they do not use the sun to guide them in building to a north - south alignment. It was suspected that they have an in-built compass to guide them. To test this theory, scientists artificially changed the direction of the magnetic field using magnets. The termites dutifully followed and built repairs to their mound in the alignment of these magnets and not to the earth's magnetic field. After this we drove further into the park to our next stop at Tolmer Falls. We went to the lookout and admired the falls and the beautiful views of the valley. Then we went on a walking trail where we were able to soak up more of the amazing scenery. So far so good but then it all went wrong. We then drove a lot further into the park and stopped at Wangi Falls. This was advertised as the main attraction at Litchfield and they weren't wrong. The car park was rammed and we only just got a space. We headed off in the direction of the falls and there were people (sheep) everywhere, sprawled across the grass, in a scene reminiscent of hell! Then we got to the falls, or where we presumed the falls to be, as there were so many there we could hardly make them out. Every man and his dog (well I think there would have been if National Parks allowed pets) was there on the grass and in the water. What could have been a beautiful spot was ruined by all these woop woopers. We don't like this type of place much any more and we both felt out of our comfort zone. We prefer quieter places away from all the 'sheep' who seem to love flocking together. 'Sheep' attract other 'sheep'. The only way to escape the 'sheep' mentality is to be different and think freely. Anyhow we went on the walking trail around the Wangi Falls area and we hardly saw anyone which was great. The 'sheep' it would appear weren't interested in the scenery. Their minds were only intent on splashing about with the other 'sheep'.After stepping back through all the 'sheep' to get back to the camper we were in two minds as to whether we should have a look at Florence Falls. We gave it a go and wished that we hadn't. We parked up and set off for the falls only to hear woop wooping in the near distance. We suddenly turned a corner on the path and saw another flock of 'sheep'! We'd had enough of Litchfield and hot footed it back to the car park. We decided not to stay in Litchfield tonight and so we drove to Batchelor and checked in at the caravan park there. We got site 13 in the bush camping part of the site. This was a good omen as 13 is my lucky number. I don't believe in any of that superstitious nonsense. Why should 13 be unlucky? I have always found it to be a good number and would happily live in a house numbered 13. Builders these days however seem to purposefully miss this number out on new properties which is just a load of old **** to please the 'sheep'. Site 13 was peaceful and quiet and the showers here were clean and powerful. We happily chilled here for the rest of the day.
