Today was mostly about Crocodylus Park. This place wasn’t on our original plan, but with the growing excitement and intrigue into crocs in the NT from most of us, we decided it would be worth a visit to see a…

We were 50/50 on doing a night or two in and around Litchfield to explore the park when we were planning the trip – but it’s only an hour and a half drive from Darwin, so we decided to do…
