Meegan and Jen's Australian Adventures

So one very rainy morning (6am) Pixie and I joined 3 Swedish guys and our tour guide for a day of fun in Litchfield. We started the day by going to see the giant termite mounds, HUGE... Next we did a trek up a "mountain" to see some beauty waterfalls... I got 6 leeches on me in total. Our tour guide said that if I would just stay on the path it wouldn't be such a problem.. but really where is the fun in that? Next lunch... The real fun started in the afternoon apon our arrival at the second set of Waterfalls (beautiful). We went in swimming, and if you were able to fight the current, you could swim under the water to right infront of the falls and pop-up, so as getting caught in the fast moving water for a free ride...
The next set of falls were the most fun by far!!! After making it to a tree next to the falls you drag yourself under the falls feeling along until you grab a root a few feet along. You then press your back un agains the wall so you have just enough room to catch your breath before letting go... next you are sucked staright down into a deep pool and shot straight back up... AWESOME!! I did it 15 or so times, and even when back after we had gone to another water hole to do it a few more times!!
Our tour guide Tim was wicked, he basically just hung out with us all day. It was like having a friend who knew the area, he even bought us some drinks at the end.
