This is Buley Rock Pools in Litchfield Park. It is a   series of waterfalls and rock pools and crystal clear water completely free of crocs.

Florence Falls Litchfield National Park

(where's Wally)
 Wangi Falls Litchfield National Park. It is a massive rock pool fed by a massive waterfall. The tablelands above the waterfall are sandstone that acts like a giant sponge during the wet season and then slowly releases the water during the dry season. The waterfalls never dry up.
Michele swam over to this dramatic waterfall and made a valiant attempt to get under it only to be popped up like a cork.
A biblical moment - the burning bush
 A scary moment - it doesn't take long for a fire to spread as we found out driving through the park. These fires are part of the park management plan to help reduce more damaging fires.

A remarkably peaceful scene. Once the fire has finished its role, the flora starts to reinvent itself with many shades of green.
