Before breakfast we went on a 2.4km walk to Cascades Falls. Then we walked down 137 steps to Florence Falls for swim. Dad and I swam out to the waterfall and jumped off, it was fun. We then walked through the rainforest and swam at other waterfalls along the way to Buley Rockholes. When we got there the where lots of people swimming in the holes. I had a swim in all of them. The best one was where you can jump off the rocks into a deep hole.
When we walked along the creek track, we walked through a monsoon forest.  There was a guage in there which measured the himidity at 50% and the temperature was 28 degress because it was real shady.  A few meters ahead, when we got out in the open around natural grasses another gauge / barometer read 34 degrees and 40% humidity.  It is amazing how trees can affect temperature and humidity levels.

The photos say it all......we spent a full day exploring the national park before heading to Katherine to stock up.  It was 36 degrees and we walked all along these beautiful tracks, jumping in and out of natural waterways along the way to cool off...just magnificent.  Booked into Manbulloo Homestead for 3 nights, 9 km from Katherine on the Victoria Highway heading toward WA.
