The Lost City

Today we headed off to Wangi Falls which were still closed for swimming due to the late wet season. Although we couldn't swim we still had a magnificent view of the twin falls cascading down the rugged rocky cliff face. We had a short ( compared to our previous efforts) stroll through the semi rainforest that surround Wangi Falls before heading for the Lost City.



These magnificent rocky structures resemble buildings and are found 10 km down a 4wd track that was quite rough in places. As we wandered around the imposing structures Angus and Claire enjoyed scaling these outcrops. Angus even managed to find himself a fair way off the ground and struggling to find his way back down. Dad had to come to his rescue but no sooner was he on the ground he was back up the next rock. We then headed for our swimming hole from yesterday only to find it so busy that we couldn't find a park. After trying another swimming spot and finding the same situation we admitted defeat and continued on our journey. 
Arriving in Darwin we started looking for a place to stay. After being disappointed with the first place we looked at, we headed for Lee Point village. We had met a Darwin local at Alice Springs who had recommend Lee Point and we were glad of this chance meeting. Lee Point do not advertise or take bookings and we were very happy to stay here for our time in Darwin.
