Edith Falls walk, 9th Sepember 2007

We got up early before it got too hot and we did the walk up to Edith falls, even at 9am the temp was starting to rise up to 30'C. When we got up to the top of the walk(which was well worth every drop of sweat) the view was beautiful. The water cascading down the rocks to the swimming area below. It was a bit tricky for Hannah to get in the water, as the rocks under the water level were really slippery. So I got in first, then Hannah started to walk into the water slipped and we both fell straight in to the water with a big splash!
Once in Hannah didn't really like it away from the edge, as you couldn't see what was below you in the merky water, there might have been Freshies in there with us. We swam over to the waterfall and climbed the rocks up the waterfall (The Bounty adverts, should now come to mind). At the top we found another pool with no one in it. I dived in for a swim and Hannah explored around the edge.
By mid afternoon we arrived at Litchfield National Park. We stayed just outside the park in Batchelor and watched the sun setting and Hannah got lots of photos capturing all the colour changes from start to finish. That night was the hottest we've had and the bugs just kept getting in the van with all the doors and windows closed.
