We spent the day at Litchfield National Park.
The photo below shows Cheryl standing near a termite mound. This type is known as the cathedral mound.
A different type of mound; these are the meridian mounds. The broad sides face east-west, 
and the thin ends are all aligned north-south. This is believed to aid in keeping the mounds at a constant temperature for the termites.
A field of these termite mounds looks very much like a cemetery.
We visited 3 waterfalls: Florence, Tolmer and Wangi. By now, however, I can't really tell which is which.
Cheryl set off on a monsoon forest walk. Too hot and humid for me, though.
I just loitered around; wondering why the screwpine is so called...
...caught the tour bus driver resting...
...saw a green ants' nest. These green abdomens of these ants are edible.
Looks like I annoyed this picnicking family.
Yellow flowers of the kapok tree - the fibres of which were used to fill mattresses back when I was a kid.
Cheryl returned from her walk.
Finally, an emu with a buffalo and a pig in the background.
