Today we made the short drive North of Katherine to Edith Falls. This is a small National Park where the Edith River cascades through a series of large ponds and a series of water falls. It is very popular as a day trip as it provides good swimming and as we discovered good sun tanning (or is that good sun burning) opportunities.

We had thought of camping at Edith Falls but fell foul of the Northern Territories new booking system for National Park Camp Grounds. One must book online in order to get a spot in the campground. Except of course there is no mobile phone reception at Edith Falls and it was a 50km round trip back to the highway where we might have had reception. Ah-well. I guess this is progress.

So we decided to head a little further north to Pine Creek which we knew had a nice commercial campground attached to the The lazy Lizard Tavern.

Pine Creek also has a colony of fruit bats which were out at dusk on their nightly foraging expedition.

We stayed at The Lazy Lizard in 2019 and since then the bathroom facilities have been significanyly upgraded.
