Termite Mounds

Litchfield Nat Park (NT)
These are Litchfield's magnetic termite mounds. Like little soldiers standing in formation these termite mounds are all perfectly alligned North to South and span as far as we could see. Each harbours it's own cast system. The king and queen live on the bottom. The worker terminte live in the middle and the dead are buried on the top. As long as there is death the mound will grow.
There must have been a plague.
Territorians have a strange sense of adventure.
