Magnetic Termite Mounds
Litchfield National Park, close to Darwin, is an excellent place to view the two different types of Termite Mounds in large numbers. The robust Cathedral mounds can attain a height of 7 metres, while the smaller blade-like Magnetic mounds are constructed on an East-West axis so that the Sun's rays throughout the day are concentrated along the thicker "sharp" edge of the structure.
