A humid morning road out of Darwin dissolves into open savanna; termite mounds stand like low, ancient architecture while the van hums toward the shade of monsoon forest. By midmorning the air cools and the sound of falling water pulls the group into Florence Falls, where a spring‑fed double cascade cuts a clean pool beneath a ferned amphitheatre.
