Litchfield dip

Wow this was an incredibly beautiful place to dip- in fact I spent most of the day in and out of various rock pools and waterfalls. This challenge is really tough! 😊

Swimming in paradise

My Sunday morning swim was completely divine. Jumping off the rocks at Nightcliff into pristine 26 degree water. Ok so you think this is not a challenge but remember I’m facing the real possibility of crocs and jellyfish sharing this water. So there may not have been any fatal croc attacks in Darwin but they do pull thousands of crocs out each year and my friend was once chased by a croc at Nightcliff - so I’m still facing my fears by jumping in! So who hasn’t donated yet! It’s not too late

Saturday 15th Aug

Sunset swim at mightcliff

It seems a bit like cheating to log a swim in Darwin without the sharp pain of entering the water as in Vic. But couldn’t resist sharing the beauty of this swim!
