Uluru

Litchfield National Park
About 1,500 square kilometres of bush near Batchelor, 100 kilometres south-west of Darwin, known for its waterfalls and swimming holes. Florence, Wangi and Tolmer Falls drop off the sandstone plateau, and fields of magnetic termite mounds stand aligned north to south.
